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!

How did you ever come up with this layer on layer combination of stamps??? This card should be entered in a contest as I'm sure it would take the BLUE RIBBON 1st PRIZE!!! TFS
Wow, Carole, this is fabulous! I love the colors you used and the tapestry panels are stunning! I really like the shading around the main image, too. Your cards are always so special!
