Sweetbriar Rose for a Sweet Lady

This is one of my favorite stamps to color with the Blendabilities, but I could never figure out how to fill up the white space behind it.  Then today I spotted this idea on Sandi MacIver's blog and was instantly thrilled with it.  Gorgeous Grunge strikes again!  Isn't it a great filler for all that white space?  I inked the smallest specks with Calypso Coral and with Wild Wasabi (separately of course!), stamped it off first and then onto the card so it was just a light smattering.

I changed up the card itself by making my base Wild Wasabi instead of Whisper White, which I think is just to thin to stand up on it's own, so mine has some extra layers to it.  I also covered the "Sweetbriar Rose" with my happy birthday sentiment. 



Inside I stamped the matching sentiment that goes with the outside one from Petite Pairs.
