Recently I was flipping through the Current Catalog. I saw THIS card. (I would love to just copy and paste a picture of it for you, but sadly I can't seem to do it.) But I did take a picture of the catalog page with my camera.....how's that for cheating the system??
So I thought it might be fun to try to re-create the look. I grabbed every color of the rainbow...a few million stamps....and....whatdya think?
Similar anyway.
I changed the sentiment, to make it fit with the stamp sizes I had. Here's a fun fact: Those circles behind the letters are actually the back side of another stamp. It's a cool little trick you can do with the MyAcrylix stamps. The reverse side of the stamp is smooth, so if you like the shape of a particular stamp, just put it on the clear block facing in and voila! you have another stamp. In this case the actual stamp is the large center of a flower with some texture detail. But when I flipped it over it became a somewhat misshapen circle. Perfect for what I needed!
Hope it brought a smile to your face!

I liked that you mentioned using the back of the stamp. That reminded me of this book I found at our library.
