Make A Wish

I seem to have an unnatural addiction to the blue-green family of colors. That last card uses it, and so does this next one. My card follows the current (I think) Clean & Simple challenge:

which I immediately turned on its ear like this:

Here's my card, then I'll explain:

I knew I wanted to use Pool before I'd even designed the card. And because I finally opened and used my Hero Arts Envelope Liner Background stamp, I may sneak this in over at the current A Blog Named Hero challenge, too.

The other stamps on this card are by Avery Elle, and I think I'll be getting more of their sets. I love the clean lines. To stamp the two arrow stamps, I first lined them up on my grid paper, then picked them up with an acrylic block. That's the only chance I had for getting them straight.

Okay, I'm going back in to stamp some more. Thanks for stopping by!

    Thank you for the tip about the grid paper--I have a terrible time lining stamps up too!

    I love those colors together, and thanks for the grid paper tip - that's a great idea. Avery Elle stamps are wonderful. I only have one set but I plan to get more soon.
