How to Modify Stamp Images for Coloring or Painting

Hi all! I recently made this card for my husband since I was going on a two week cruise (I’m actually still on the cruise right now), and knew we would be apart for a while. I loved the images in the True Friend stamp set from The Greeting Farm, but needed to combine two of the images and take out one cat. With a bit of masking, it worked great! Then I paired it with a greeting from Simon Says Stamp’s Just Miss You stamp set.

For some texture, I used the Circle Illusion embossing folder from Spellbinders and ink blended some color on it.
