layering dye & pigment inks

sometimes there's just no denying that I am, absolutely, an English perennial garden/shabby chic kind of girl - so this label stamp speaks to me in so many ways!  I stamped a white-on-white striped pattern with pigment ink and then used the label stamp to create an all-over "wallpaper" feeling.  (the English LOVE their wallpaper, you know ;)  when I paired the background with a bit of royal blue it reminded me of my much loved/much used "blue willow" china . . .

papertrey ink's 7th anniversary printables

ok, well I thought this was going to be so fun . . . but actually it was a bit intimidating to create something with Betsy's name on it!  I was instantly attracted to the color combination, so here is what I did with her sweet thank you label . . .
