I love the Jillibean Soup patterned paper, but it was overpowering my stamp. Daubing on a few coats of Picket Fence toned down the paper nicely, allowing me to keep the great pattern but masking it so it didn't compete with the stamped image. I've done this before, and I never fail to be impressed with what a quick and easy solution it is!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
