My new discovery is the Unity Stamp Company Kit of the month.  The stamps are a wonderful red rubber mounted on foam and come in a big sheet.  There are so many wonderful images and they stamp beautifully every time.  Now that my new best friend is my stamp-a-ma-jig, I am able to get really good placement.  I made two cards using the With Grateful Heart stamp.  

This first one I made using white frost pigment ink and then painted it with watercolors.  I didn't like the way the sentiment faded into the card.  The dash lines are in honor of Kristina Werner who had a tweet complainer about her dash lines, so I decided to mandate dash lines for the day.  *smile*

This second card I took a different approach.  I masked the entire wreath portion of the stamp and inked the sentiment only with white frost pigment ink.  I then embossed it using white embossing powder and got the "pop" I was looking for.  It was a little difficult to line the stamp up and stamp the wreath properly to have it surround the sentiment but I was able to use some tape on my acrylic block and got lucky.  I masked the sentiment the second time and stamped just the wreath.  I then watercolored the vine, leaves and hearts.  I used my Big Shot and two nesting Spellbinders dies to make the scalloped circle that is on the outside of the wreath.  The card base is Bazzill which I ran through the Big Shot in the dot embossing folder.  Liquid pearls, some dash lines and we have a card.
