I randomly stamped the doilies with versamark and embossed them with clear EP. Then I sponged the colors randomly over the embossing The sentiment was stamped with stazon ink to hold over the embossing. I used my misti for that because I had to stamp 3 times to get a clear image. I was going to just trim the edge of my panel soit would have a white border but then I decided to go a little further with the framing. So I cut a frame out of the center of the panel leaving space for the Island indigo and pear and white layers around the sentiment. And I'm glad I went the extra step. It really kicked it up a few notches!

I am amazed by that wonderful background. It is so very good. The sentiment you have used is great too. Don't know when I am going to find the time to try all these different techniques - my list is growing. Great inspiration.

Gorgeous card, Pat....and your bg is FANTASTIC! I wondered how you got your black sentiment to stamp over the embossed portions....TFS...Stazon and a MISTI. : )

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
