To create my background, I embossed 3/4 of my top layer with the Guide Lines impression plate. Since the lines didn’t stand out enough for me, I went back with the Faux Ribbon set and stamped white ink. Now some folks are able to ink up their impression plate and embossed thus accomplishing both steps at once, but I do to much futzing with my paper – I’d end up with ink everywhere.

Recently, there was a discussion on the PTI forum about favorite anniversary sets. This Round & Round set is the latest and I hadn’t inked it up yet, so I thought I should. Since I decided to use the image as my focal point, I found a small butterfly in Butterfly Dreams that worked. That way I could stamp the Round image in one color and not worry about trying to color just the butterfly piece different.
