Aaah. I finally got to play with my new Elements of Style. I wonder how I ever lived without it. ;)
I layered stamps all over this card, but a lot of it is so subtle you probably can't see it in the picture. On the background of the card, I used River Rock ink with Linen background stamp, Print Pattern background stamp, then the flourish from Elements of Style in the corners. With Bravo Burgundy ink, I used the toile style flowers from Elements and stamped them in the corners only.
On the main focal panel, I sponged River Rock and Bravo Burgundy, then used River Rock with the Linen stamp again, then black ink/En Francais background, then black/flower from Elements. Whew. I love the effect, but my semi-crummy camera will only capture so much.
Thanks for looking!

Oh, so very, VERY nice, Colleen!! I think that buying the Elements of Style set is going to be a great investment for you--I haven't seen a single thing made with that set that I didn't like!! So versatile. You did such a nice job layering so many beautiful images and textures in this card. So very lovely!! And what pretty colors. Your hardware framing your sentiment is just perfect!! I love this
