It really depends on your style and what you would use more often. That being said, my choice would paisley and/or floral (I want/need both!)

I have the ones you do as well and I got Paisley in my last order. I LOVE it! Cheesecloth and Floral are both on my wish list too though ;)

I'd go with french flair and buy the paisley background that cornish heritage farms offers. (Only $8 unmounted- http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/...ef02c3a0ff0d58 )

I love to use my Floral with my other backgrounds like Linen or Canvas. The layering adds some depth. Plus the Floral just goes with ANYTHING I want to stamp and looks great! I have the Paisley but it seems to be more contemporary style verses the Floral's classic, I'm just not as good with it.

I am using my Cheesecloth more and more too. I like BG that add a subtleness to help create deapth on my c/s.

I voted paisley, because it looks so awesome, although floral is one of my faves because it is so versatile!

I would go with either Paisley or Floral - they are both very different from anything else you have. (I voted Paisley - but only because I want it too....I already have Floral!)

IMHO floral is the best background stamp ever made! so that's what I voted for. but paisly is on my list for the next background to get. I didn't vote for cheesecloth because you already have some fabric texturey ones, so I guess I was going for variety. I like french flair too, but really I think floral is a must! have fun deciding.

From what you have right now, I'd choose from Paisley and Floral. I LOVE both, but right now my favorite is Paisley, so that's what I voted for.

Paisley! All the way, then Floral!

I have quite a few of the Cornish Heritage Farms BG stamps and they are great! The Paisley is not quite as good as the SU one.

So get it!

Now, you want to Chicken Wire, Barbed Wire and many others, CHF rocks!

The only reason I chose Paisley over Floral is that it's easier to do masculine cards with Paisley (think shades of brown and rust - or bandanna type stuff). But I love both of those backgrounds.
