Urban Planning?

This is my favorite of the cards I made with Verve's newest stamps. I like the bright colors, simple design, and of course the Label 1 die cuts.

To get the multi-colored sentiment, ink the entire stamp with basic gray. Wipe away the words you want to highlight with a water brush and paper towel. Re-ink with markers or carefully with an ink pad as I did for the kiwi kiss "plans". Huff (breathe warm, moist air) on the entire stamp to re-moisten the ink, and stamp.

After die cutting the white layer, I left the die in place while sponging with So Saffron ink.

The ribbon loop is pulled up through the slot, folded over, and secured with a brad.
