I triple Stamped the Floral background and then water colored with re-inkers the flowers and leaves of the image. I added the black mats in between alyers and used the black card base as the last mat. Added a ribbon to the bottom of the smallest layer and a trimmed circle for the sentiment.

Absolutely gorgeous! I forgot all about this background stamp and how spectacular it can make a card look. Your painting is perfect and gives your creation a wonderful 'old world' look.

Oh, thank you, Pat! I really wanted to do the triple stamping challenge, but couldn't land on a stamp that I thought I'd be happy with. This one is PERFECT! Beautifully done!
