I came across a great video by Jennifer McGuire, where she domonstrate stamping on a dark cardstocks, and I wanted to give it a try (you can see the video HERE).
It's a great technique and I'm sure I'll be using it more in the future.
I used solid dark blue cardstock, but stamping with the white pigment ink gave it a pale bluish tone, and made the blue ink stand out.
For outlining the flowers and leaves, I traced the edges with an embossing brush, and so I did inside the flowers, and then heat embossed with white ep.
The white outlines, along with the white matting make the whole design just pop up.
I added some glitter silver enmael dots as an extra accent.
Here're some close ups to showcase the different blue tones:
