I learned the best way to create this card is to first use the Perfect Crafting Pouch over the area you want to stamp. The Perfect Crafting Pouch helps your ink stick better to the cardstock and not smear.
Then pick out the stamp you want to use, ink it up and stamp it on the cardstock. Next emboss the stamped image, you can use whatever embossing folder you like. Once you have that done use The Best Glue Ever to adhere all the layers down.
I decided I was going to turn my card into a birthday card, so I used a die to cut out the oval shape and another die to cut out the words. I used The Best Glue Ever and the No Clog Writing Cap to adhere them down. If you have never used the No Clog Writing Cap I am telling you it is the best thing ever for adhering words and titles to your cards.
I hope you give this challenge a try and post in the comments so I can go check out your card.
