Used today's color challenge colors to participate in the tea party challenge to make a thinking of you card with flowers. I started by stamping the Weathered bg in stamped off Soft Suede onto Vanilla. I then inked up my wheel with Raspberry Ripple and added the Baroque Border. I had rolled past the gap on the wheel so I added the die cut flourish over the space. I found this pretty paper flower in my stash to add to the suede flourish. I stamped off my sentiment to make it lighter than the border. I rounded 2 corners and sponged the edges with Suede.

Wonderful idea to use that BG stamp, Gail...looks wonderful with your flourishes and flower. Your clever placing looks perfect, not like it is hiding anything! Thanks so much for coming to the tea party today...hope that you got your cookies! Hugz.
