The Heart that Gives also Gathers

The Heart that Gives also Gathers.  Isn't that a lovely sentiment?  You may not be able to see it very well, but that sentiment borders the left side of this stamp.  When we were in Door County a couple of weeks ago, I was snooping in a lovely little confectionary/gift shop and I spied the familiar plastic cases from Stampin' Up's older stamp sets.  Of course I had to spend some time looking through the sets and ended up purchasing this very sweet set.  Since it has not yet seen ink, I thought I would submit another entry into Darnell's NBUS Challenge.  Sadly, my shelves are full of never been used stuff: too many aspirations - too little time!

I sponged some ink on the main panel and wanted to create an abstract of a beautiful sunset with oranges concentrated behind the flower part of the stamped image.  I heat embossed the image in black.  What next?  I played around a bit with adding another element in the bottom right of the card but in the end I decided to just let the sponging and flower image steal the show.  A simple border of black and then finally mounting to a card base.

Happy Stamping,
Dana
