Create a "cameo" image. My grandmother used to always wear her cameo broach. I was looking for a profile or "bust" of a woman as that is traditionally what would appear on such broaches, but I don't have any stamps like that - so I went with the flowers - LOL!!!!! I chose the spotted background technique for my main image to create the bolder background (and I did this after stamping my flowers and heat embossing them with white EP).
I also added the faux linen technique to my background as I believe it fits well with the cameo.
Would love to know what you think.

I like the bolder BG you created for the flower and all the texture of the main panel is wonderful. Great job on the challenge, all the pink really looks like a cameo

I didn't play in this challenge because I just couldn't "get" the cameo idea--well, get it onto paper. This card really does the challenge justice. It has all the required elements and it's beautifully done! Very pretty indeed!

This turns out to be a beautiful cameo card! The background is amazing, and I have no idea how you did it. I love the pretty ribbon on this too. Just beautiful!
