This card was intended for the DTGDnotimetostamp Challenge called Easy Elegance.
Description:
I used some of the new textured SU 12x12 CS (black) and some LSS burgundy. The colors were inspired by the raw silk ribbon that I ran across while cleaning up an earlier stamp project. The stamp set is Illuminations and was stamped with retired Baroque Burgundy craft onto Shimmery White and embossed with clear EP. The bg stamp is Fancy Pants Flourish (at least I think thats what its called) and the brads are mat black by MM. The center image is on dimensionals.
The background stamp is actually very crisp and stands out nicely IRL, but for whatever reason (probably because I'm a horrible photographer ... LOL) it looks very poorly stamped.

This is such a great card. Love the layout, the punched corners with brads, the ribbon- everything. But what I think I like most are the colors you chose to do this in. The burgundy and black is just fabulous and perfect for this card. This is going in my favorites for sure! TFS
