Today's IC website has a going to a Cuadros pinterest page. There is a lot to inspire on that one page alone. I chose the following page. https://www.pinterest.com/ifedele/cuadros/
Though I didn't get all the gold edging, there is a similarity. If you look at the single page, this will ltake you to other colors of the beautiful Ginko fabric.
I first stenciled white ink, let that dry, then stenciled the Blueprint ink. Let that dry. After that I came in with a stencil brush and the gold. Added a layer of clear ep and heat embossed. I wanted more shine, so put the stencil back on and added a layer of Versa Mark and more clear ep.
It's an interesting look, I could go for some fabric like this or what's on the Cuadros page.
To finish it off, I tied embroidery floss around the panel and added the brass ginko leaf.
Seeing as ginko is good for the memory, I may use this for a late birthday card.
TFL!
I forgot, there's the bed waiting to climb into and it hasn't been made yet. I'll be back tomorrow to comment on the awesome gallery!

Okay I scrolled through the page and I'm pretty sure the Empress gingko was your inspiration . . . . This is an awesome case of that posting. Your double sponged stenciling is wonderful and the addition of the gold gingko trinket inspired! Beeautifully done!

Okay - I scrolled through the page you linked and I'm pretty sure your inspiration was the Empress Ginko. Superb job on the doulble sponged stenciling to case this posting - I love the addition of the gold ginko trinket - it really pops against that dark bg.

I'd say you nailed your inspiration piece! This is just lovely! Your color layering is just perfect, love the addition of the ginkgo charm and your intent to use it as a late birthday card made me chuckle. I'm always saying how ginkgo is supposed to be good for the memory, if I could only remember to take it. hehe
