Same card with white background. Which one looks better or makes the white card features easier to see? You decide and let me know under comment section. Thanks.
I tried about 15 different backgrounds and several ribbons before I found the combination that worked for me with this digi stamp. I also tried several different sized cards and cuts. I hope you receive inspiration from this card. The pearls are pure white; but for some reason in these pictures they look off white.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I hope you enjoyed my creation today. It took a long time to create this because the patterns and the digi were not what I wanted till I found this combination. I love this Bugaboo silhoutte digi stamp. It looks 3-D; which is the effect I was working towards. Have a wonderful day and Keep On Creating!!
