This new dotted background and the fancy basics sentiments are two stamps from the Hero Arts 2013 catalog that I knew I wanted right away. I am entering this in the Hero Arts monthly challenge to use something new
and the CAS-ual Fridays to make a card with long and short sides.
After stamping and masking off the sentiment, I used mowed grass and picked raspberry distress inks to stamp the background twice for some color interest. A black Sharpie pen defined the sentiment area, with two gems to embellish the card.
It isn't often that I make a one layer card - not sure that I like this one very much.
Thanks to my newest blog followers; I appreciate it!! And thanks to all of my followers/friends for your sweet comments - you brighten my day with them!

Joy I love that background with the big bold sentiment! Adding those big gems was the perfect accent :)
Wow, what an impact both the dots and the large sentiment make! Amazing card!
What a fun background you made! :> Mew stamps really are the best!
Ah, Joy - I have been eying this background stamp. My only hesitation is that it is wood, which I hate storing. But, with the smashing way you have used it, I may change my mind. This is very cool!
Fabulous bg! Well done Joy!
Love this, Joy! Looks like I should add those big sentiments to my wishlist!
I LIKE it Joy. The double stamping with the two colours is fabulous.
Nice card Joy-that background stamp looks like it'll be used often-fun and versatile-and I love how you stamped it in two colors!
