What a fabulous website for the Inspiration Challenge today, Patina. I might have to make another!
It may seem strange, but I was actually inspired by the background of the canvas here: http://www.patinastores.com/catalog/...rd-canvas.html. I have a Hero Arts background stamp that is a dead ringer for the canvas. How lucky is that?!
As per usual, my photography doesn't capture the actual image. All stamping is gold embossed and sponged on the edges. (Oops, just noticed one of the pearls fell off a flower. Guess I need to go fix that ...)
Thanks for the challenge, Stef! Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

What a prettily inspired card. I love, love, love all the gold embossing and sponging and your feminine pretty embellies are perfect!

I love it when I recognize the photo the stamper took their inspiration from! I knew right away on your card! Gorgeous! Beautiful embossing! Lovely design!

Ohhh, I didn't see that canvas, and while I may not have the perfect stamp (or maybe I do!!) I know I have an embossing folder that's spot on. I see I might be making another card tomorrow.
I know how gorgeous your gold embossing is, and the contrast of that and the kraft with the crisp white flowers is just a treat. What a wonderful stick pin, too. I'm glad that somehow I started at one end of the IC gallery and then at the other and ended up with your beauty to finish up with.
