"One last touch you can add to your card is if you have some very nice stamps. Uh, these can be a very excellent little touch you can do especially to the back on the doily side of your card, which you know its okay, you want to keep your doily mostly white but stamps are subtle enough to be able to add without detracting too much. So, for this basically we'll need some ink, and a good stamp and let's put on there. Now, for this actually the back of the doily I don't mind having the only cool color we're going to have on valentines. Its okay at this point, because there's really not that much going on at the back of the doily. We're going to try to kind of mere the other side of the card, where we have all those pink cards, on this side its going to be blue on the white cards. It don't have to be perfectly equidistant, the one thing you just do is try to like kind of avoid going up over the red text. You can even put these on before the text, personally I like putting the stamps on last, they kind of more of an after thought. There you go; you can also go up and over the doily border as well. So, definitely don't be afraid to do that to add a little more of the edges touch. So, there's nothing wrong, don't treat this as too hard of an edge mind you. I wouldn't do a lot more than say about five or six of these though. Because in other wise it?s going to get kind of cluttered up and crazy. This is a nice uh moderate amount and you can see how it's also miring the other side of the card now."
