Create Vibrancy with Altenew Stamps and Dies

Happy Sunday, friends! 
I am sharing a super bright card today.
you are the bestest-001

I was trying to use up my DIY color paper. The easiest and fastest way is using the stamp and die cut combo.

The vibrancy from these ink-sprayed paper is amazing! 

you are the bestest

For someone like me who doesn't do a ton of detail coloring, this is just the perfect way to maximize the use of outline stamps. I decided to take it up a notch, so I did the inlaid and Partial die. Notice that these images are sticking out and not popped up? I put the die cut pieces back like a puzzle once I ran them through the Cuttlebug.

Matching stamps and dies are expensive. So, I am trying to think of more ways to "justify the cost". Well, this is one of them :) Hope that you find it helpful!
