I was inspired by this blog post from Julie Koerber http://www.flourishes.org/2010/04/ea...le-background/ to make this card. I loved how she used the image repeatedly to make the background. But, for her card she took a Blender Pen and literally went over each and every line on the stamped image. That is way more detail work than I would have wanted to do with this card. So I stamped the image instead and then misted it with water to blur it just a little. I was happy with how it turned out and it was a little less time consuming (although I had to wait for it to dry).
The stamp set I used for the background is Flourishes' Lace Edges. The sentiment is from Tag Lines. The ribbon is from the Dollar Tree.
TFL! I hope you like it!

This turned out beautifully Trina! I might have to give it another try using this stamp set and doing a horizontal card -- love this! And, using water -- Hhhmmm - might need to try that too! :-)
