I voted for the floral. It looks so much better when stamped than in the catalog. Not sure why that is. My second choice would be Crosshatch, but with Canvas & Print Pattern, I figured you needed something not so uniform, symetrical or whatever word you want to pick.
I chose Floral, but that's because I don't have it yet either and it's also on my list, plus you don't have anything like it! My other choices would be Crosshatch and Weathered.
I would say either Crosshatch or Floral. I took a quick peek in your gallery and most of the cards there would go really well with Crosshatch...so I voted in the poll for that. If you are looking for something to go with what you already have that would be great. If you are wanting something different, then I would go with Floral. I love both of them.
I love floral. Not only is it a beautiful background, it's terrific just by itself with a tag or matted greeting and a bit of ribbon.

I voted Floral because it is so very different from what you already have. It is on my wishlist, too. I'm sure it will be the next background stamp I get. And it am amazed at how good it looks in the samples I have seen because as someone already mentioned, it looks pretty ugly in the catalog.

You are so good to go and check out her gallery and base your opinion on her stamps.

Floral was my number one choice for versatality, followed closely with Crosshatch. I've just ordered Word by Word, not because I think I'll be using it for a background stamp, but because there are 22 words there that can be cut out and used on cards (actually more words if you split some of them (heartfelt to heart or felt, funny to fun, enjoy to joy, etc.) That's a lot of bang for the buck.
I just got weathered and absolutely love it! Crosshatch is on my February list. But I would go with what you think you would really like over the long haul. Good luck!
I have Soft Swirls & love it. I just received Fine Lace but haven't used it yet.
It's easy to fall in love with most of the BG stamps after seeing all the beautiful cards made with them in the gallery!
I have the same four you do & have Floral on it's way! I've seen so many fabulous cards here made with it that I couldn't wait any longer!! I think crosshatch & weathered will now move up a notch on my wishlist! I agree with what someone else said that they'd be great for more masculine cards, now that I'm getting the most feminine of all!

To everyone!!! I am so glad I have you guys as my conscience!! I think I will go with Floral this next stamp club probably Weathered and then Crosshatch (of course I haven't seen the Spring Mini yet so there could be a slight change).
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!
