I made this using two new sets from Our Daily Bread designs. I love the mint green and navy colors together; it's one of my fave combos. I have a stash of papers that I hand marbled (the old fashioned, messy way, lol) and since each one is one of a kind, I make color copies of them. The background is one of those.
For the mint green layers, I stamped the Brocade bg using Versamark. It's faint, but it's there. For the brocade frame, I used a SAMJ to make it wider, stamped it w/ indigo ink and used markers to add a little color. It's cut w/ a rect nestie. The quote was cut w/ a labels 4 nestie and a little green ink was sponged on the edges.
The horizontal bands are just layered strips and I added a green tab I made w/ a corner rounder. The colored dots are just 1/8 or 1/4 inch punchies.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

What a great card! Love the marbled bg and thanks for the idea of color copying it. That's one of those ideas I just don't think to do, but it's a great one! TFS
