The sentiment came from the Light the Sky stamp set. I only wanted the word ‘congratulations’ so masked off the rest of the sentiment with a Postit Note. I inked up the word using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it above the coloured images. The decorated rectangle was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
