I forgot how wonderful the SU Pleasant Poppies background stamp set is to work with when making a card. It inks so beautifully and stamps precisely. It can be colored, embossed,  cut out and popped up, or die cut with only a portion of it showcased. Or… it can just be stamped tone on tone for a subtle background as I did here using the colors from Fab Friday #14:
