Outside of a dog, a book is a woman's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Mona Lisa

My mom sent me this Mona Lisa stamp (from Cherry Pie) and I couldn't wait to use it, but it ended up taking me a long time to find a way to make it stand out, because it's a rather small stamp.  I ended up using it with a bunch of scraps I had lying around (the blue is gift wrap paper).  Layering vellum on top toned down the excess brightness.  I saw card artist Teri Anderson use staples in her cards in Stamper's Sampler, and I like the simplicity of it.  My only regret is photographing the card on top of a pine table -- it looks yellow-y
