When I saw this background stamp on the Impression Obsession website a short while ago, I knew I had to add it to my treasured stash of stamps.

I stamped the design with VersaMark ink on the white card stock and heat embossed with the Queen's Gold Embossing Powder. I personally think this particular gold color is the shiniest I've ever used. The coloring was done with a light blue glitter brush pen. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark on the blue card stock and heat embossed with the Queen's Gold embossing powder. When stamping on the So Silk papers, I highly recommend using your embossing buddy over the card stock before stamping to avoid spots of embossing powder sticking where it shouldn't; after, lightly wipe the panel with a brush or "swiffer cloth" to remove the embossing buddy residue.
Cut the mat panel to 3.75" x 5".
Cut the stamped panel to 3.5" x 4.75" and adhere to the mat panel.
Use the die to cut the sentiment panel.
Adhere the mat/stamped panels to the base card. Adhere the sentiment panel with foam mount tape.
Thanks for stopping by today. I'm on my way to enjoy lunch with one of my besties! And then it's to Art 'n Soul to finish up my Magenta stamp order!
