Hete is my card from the lesson on border stamps. This stamp is from a set from Hampton Arts. I don't rememebr the name as I tossed the backing card -- maybe just "Circles?"
This came out better than I expected. I do love a rainbow color scheme, they seem to radiate happiness, harmony, and I guess, positive energy to me. I also like the way the squarish type style of the sentiment contrast the circles of the background.
I put the sentiment over the yellow band because I wasn't very happy with the way that came out. Has anyone noticed trouble stamping yellow? That was the problem with the Faber-Castell markers on my sentiment stamp, the one picked for the bonus day -- I couldn't get the yellow marker to stamp bright enough to read. Is it a quality of the color yellow itself, I wonder, or a quality of the pigments they use to make ink yellow?
The sentiment is a little off-center, but not for lack of trying, I tell you. I had my grid mat out and everything. Straight lines, right angles, are something I have real trouble with. Maybe because of my limited vision.
