Love from Texas!

Hello!  Today's card is one that I actually started a couple of weeks ago, but put it aside when I decided to change directions and make a Texas Valentine card instead.  I got it back out , but quickly realized it needed something, didn't know what, but something.  On the main panel, I had inked the big Texas stamp in a blue ink and then before stamping on paper, I inked up the swirl stamp in white and stamped onto the rubber of the Texas stamp, so that when the Texas stamp is on paper, it appears to have a white swirl design in the blue letters.  I think they call this the "kiss" technique.  I also had made a frame with one of the Spellbinders die cuts in blue, stamping that same swirl in white.  But, it still needed something, so today I ended up adding polka dotted paper behind the Texas panel, some ribbon and a little homemade Texas embellishment.  Now I like it!  Here it is ... enjoy!
