Last weekend I attended a Christening for my niece, and was inspired by the priest's stole which was simply gorgeous. More on the story at Dietrich Designs: http://colleen-dietrichdesigns.blogspot.com/
Though it's hard to see in the photo, I did try to achieve a damask look to the vanilla card base using Versamark. Unfortunately, my camera skills are lacking and I couldn't get a good shot to show that plus the gold embossing.
Thanks for looking!

You've got me, Colleen. I took a trip to your blog to read about the stole and found the 2nd photo of this one and it really did show the beautiful gold embossing on the blue brocade. Awesome work!

You know you have an obsession when you look around the church and it inspires you (the same thing happened to me at church today - I am trying to decide how best to do the card in my head right now). This is so beautiful - the symbol is pretty and your colors are wonderful.
