A few years ago I bought a sort of roller that long stamps wrapped around, supposedly to stamp a continuous border. I never had any success with it - there was always a line where the ends of the stamp met and sort of tucked inside the roller, and the ink dispenser in the roller didn't work evenly. Of course it also meant planning and preparation, not to mention buying more ink dispensers, if you wanted to stamp in anything but basic black. So I ditched the roller and kept the stamps. This is one of those stamps.
I stamped it with Versamark ink and embossed with clear powder, then masked off the card around the image and sponged individual colours from a Kaleidacolour Blue Breeze pad all over the stamped area and buffed the ink off the stamping with a tissue. The sentiment, stamped with the same pad, is from a Clearly Besotted set of dinosaur stamps - I like to use things for more than one purpose!

Really lovely card.
Love this card, Jane. It looks so fresh in blue and white and perfect for the LIM challenge this week. I've not tried this technique before, but hopefully this week will be less busy than last week and I might actually have time to make a card. xx

This is so beautiful! Love the colours and the gorgeous stamping - fab sentiment too! Cool it's from a dinosaur set! That's versatility for you! xxx
So pretty Jane! The stamping is gorgeous, really delicate and pretty, and I love the blue inking which is subtle but really draws the eye. The sentiment goes so perfectly, I can hardly believe it's from a dinosaurs set! Great find! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

A lovely card - great that you've found a use for your stamp.
I came here to comment on your DT entry at Always Use Rubber but this caught my eye as blue is one of my very favorite colors! I love that you used one of the K-pads and I've never thought of sponging them on clear EP - stunning creation Jane! xo Christi
