I was immediately drawn to this stamp when I saw it because of its abstract design. There are so many fun ways you can ink and play with this stamp. Today I decided for this fall themed card to use Tim Holtz's distressed stains and paints to ink the stamp and just love the water color results!
My overall card size is a 6" x 6" square with a cream cardstock base, which worked well with the dimensions of this stamp which is about 3.5" x 4.5". It gives enough room for other embellishments while still providing the focus on the stamped image.
I added some texture to the card with burlap, gimp trim and some bronze grommets.
I glitzed it up a little by adding cream Frantage embossing enamel on the top and tea stained mica fragments on the die cut leaves.
Here's a closeup...
