I made this pretty b/g w/ the crimper. Here is the 'how to' tutorial from stamp w/ Tammi: http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2009/1...d-backgrounds/
The lily is colored w/ Elegant Eggplant & coated in Dazzling Diamonds. Did some sponging around the image.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Wow, Karen you did a really great job with the crimper. My first questions was going to be HOW, so thanks for the link. Your flower is colored so perfect too.

Wow the crimping is impressive on this gorgeous card. I must check out that tutorial. I don't use my crimper as much as I should. I think you have given me some inspiration with this fantastic card!

Your crimped backgrounds frame this beautiful flower perfectly, and I love the sparkle that the dazzling diamonds added!
