I tried to copy Sabrina's idea with the scored base. I planned a different set of stamps, got the first bg stamp too light so came back with linen but felt it was too dark. Changed my stamps then and used this silhouette instead. Still, it was fun and makes a nice flat card for mailing. And the challenge got me using a tool I rarely think to use.

Very stylish looking with this almost monochrome treatment. You were braver than I to choose a dark colour for the linen texture, but then stamping a bold silhouette on it looks perfect. I'd started out knowing I wanted to use Roses in Winter but still wanting to add some sort of texture to the rest of the card. The rhinestones dress it up and add a real feminine touch.

I love that silhouette tree against those square scores!

I love how your design is both bold and subtle. The contrast between the white "grout" and the darker tiles makes the card pop, and up close the linen background adds more subtle texture. Great job.
