My new stamp here is the friends background stamp.
I'd stamped the flower image from Unity Stamps some time ago and so used the same colour for the background ... Mellow Moss from Stampin' Up.
I bought about 20yds of cheap white grosgrain ribbon on eBay and have been using it, coloured with Copics, to match my cards. I think it's really quite successful. I used the same Copic pen BG93 to colour the edges of the mounting layers and the Cuttlebug corners.
It's for these challenges.
