This card is for today's Inspiration Challenge(IC195)!!! Thanks, Anne!!! Our inspiration site for today's challenge is "Creative Wall Coverings". As soon as I saw wallcoverings, I thought stamping backgrounds....woohoo!!!
For my card, I actually got inspiration from three images. Two "backgrounds" and one actual inspiration photo. I blended the three. Here are the links.
Also, wanted to give a shout out to Julie(juliemlacey) for the fabulous color combo that I saw on her card here.
Speaking of blending, this card is also for the VLVSEP01 Sketch Challenge. Julee gave us two similar sketches. I sort of morphed those, too. The Verve weekly sketch challenges also have a "twist." This week's twist is round things.
I won a Verve set at the release party. I chose Bountiful Backgrounds. This was the first stamp set I think I have ever won as well as my first Verve set. Naturally, since I won something, I bought some more to go along with it.

Great card, Betty!! Love the row of bling along the bottom in the fleur de lis as well as the BG you created with it. Lovely colours you used too.

This is a beauty. Everything about it is gorgeous from the deep rich colors to the punched borders to that wonderful image. I love it. DP's are nice too.
