I love a good timeless look, whether it be through an outfit, home decor or especially a stamp set. Iconic Images is exactly that, a set full of wonderfully timeless and classic images that I can turn to time and time again. It's a look that will never be "out of style" and looks great no matter what style I'm going for that day.

It's also a set perfect to pair with a number of techniques. For my project today I've taken a couple images and inked them up in different shades to achieve a two-toned look.

I've paired Iconic Images with Background Basics: Vines to create the card base. Using the double vine stamp strip, I inked up one side with Spring Moss, then the other side with Simply Chartreuse and stamped onto a Rustic White card base. This technique adds a bit more interest to this simple background stamping.For a bit more of a realistic look, I applied the same two-toned look by inking the Iconic Images pitcher in Summer Sunrise and Orange Zest inks. Stamped it onto Rustic White cardstock and cut it out. I then stamped a die cut Half & Half strip with the stems and flowers, attached the pitcher and adhered the strip to the card base with dimensional adhesive. Stamped an Iconic Images sentiment, in True Black, and embellished with an Orange Zest button and Silk Ribbon.

Well, that's it from me today. Don't forget to check in with Nichole for a whole lot of Stamp-A-Faire fun. And be sure to see what the rest of the PTI girls have in store for you today...
