Sponged Elegant Egplant and Mauve Mist on the white cardstock. I colored Bamboo II with markers. Elegant Egplant, Ruby Red and Close to Cocoa. Thought I'd die trying to huff on this. It was a first time print, if it didn't print good I was going to forget it! This was a great challenge. Very weird colors, but I like how my card turned out!

Oh I hate huffing on large stamps let alone backgrounds - I can't believe you didn't pass out! I love the image location and how the ribbon/medallion help anchor it. Thanks for playing!
Those colors fused into one outstanding piece (hope you remember that recipe because it sure deserves to be served again). The coin and ribbon are such a beautiful finishing touch. This is really outstanding!!

I think it's gorgeous! I have a couple of cards I did in my gallery that I used the markers on using this background stamp. I used barely banana, choc. chip, and certainly celery. I agree, I huffed and I puffed, and I nearly did myself in. But the result was worth it. I used the shimmery cardstock and it turned out really pretty.

Why oh why didn't I get this background stamp when I had the chance! I love the colors you worked into the Bamboo, they are perfect. Love the coin embellishment too.
