My Recollections 290140 sentiment stamp is my NBUS item today. I have had this stamp for quite a while and have been looking forward to trying it out. I was not disappointed. I stamped with Tsukineko Brilliance white ink and heat set it with my heat gun.
I painted over the holly leaves with some Yasutomo colours. They are little pots of shimmery colours that you just whirl a damp paintbrush through and then colour with it. I do not know what oher name they are called... A few red teensy diamonds for the holly berries and outer corners and sentiment image was done!
I matted with a snippet of red Echo Park, This and That DP and then matted again with a green snippet of My Minds Eye, 12 Days of Christmas DP.
I wish I had matted the black sentiment rectangle with a piece of green card so it would stand out more against the red DP, but chose instead to keep the layers down for postage weight. Wish I had followed my first instinct!.

It's a lovely stamp and I love the chalkboard effect. A beautiful clean design, matted onto the traditional colours of DP. The tiny gems add a festive touch and catch the eye, it's great that it's 'post friendly' too, a very important consideration!

Oh wow--one of my favorite cards, Maureen! Just beautiful!
Absolutely love this card, Maureen! The white Brilliance ink is perfect to get the blackboard look on black cardstock! I might even try that--thanks for the inspiration! Personally, I think the black on that wonderful red DP looks great!
