Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity May Blog Hop. This
month the theme is flora and fauna. Such as broad theme and so many choices! I wanted to use this background stamp as this was a recent addition to my collection and I was eager to use it. I had seen a lot of great inspiration in the show and tell page, and found that this was better suited for a floral image than fauna.
The next step was my color combination. After deciding on what you see here, I can see how this background stamp could be used in so many ways. I opted to shake things up a little and stamp a portion of it in yellow as I felt the monochromatic theme I started with looked a little drab. The flower was fussy cut and quickly colored to draw attention to this spring birthday card.
