The floral background for this card has a tapestry effect. I stamped Floral BG using Craft Creamy Caramel ink on Confetti Cream CS. Over this I stamped some Blossoms from heartfelt Thanks in Classic Night of Navy randomly over the Caramel Floral design. I stamped some leaves in Always Artichoke Classic using the little leaf stamp from Wild Rose. The centers of the navy flowers are Cranberry Crisp. Over all of this, I stamped Linen BG in Night of Navy. For a final touch to bring it all together, I stamped French Script BG over the whole quarter sheet and embossed it in Gold Detail EP. It has a rich elegant look to it.. For the main image, I used similar colors for the flower image as in the background. However, I stamped the outline stamp in VersaMark and embossed it in Gold Detail EP. I ran a little Rouch Edges wheel in Creamy Caramel to soften the image. I used some Gold Stickles on the flower and leaves. I am so pleased with the result and hope you will enjoy it too!

Oh my!! Favorite card today! I love love love that tapestry effect. I could only "hope" to pull something like this off. The color combo is perfectly old-world style. Great job!!
