I have been on the lookout for many years for such a background stamp, and was thrilled when I stumbled upon it yesterday. I stamped it on the front of the card, then masked off the edges so I could sponge in the distress inks. the wreath was stamped separately and cut out, then popped above the background with some added gems and the gingham bow.
Hope you're not tired of my autumn cards, 'cause I'm not done yet!
Since I used a Stampendous stamp and everything is embossed, I'd like to enter this into the Stampendous Impressions September challenge - embossing techniques.

ReplyDeleteLin, it is always a treat to stop by your blog on my day off...sorry I haven't made it by all week, but I'm catching up. Wonderful cards all week, and I really LOVE this one! That is a great background stamp, great masking and distressing (I thought it was layered, had to look closer when I read you masked the edge!). That wreath is really pretty, too.
