Here's my card for today's challenge. I had a great time going through the site for today. Here is my inspiration. http://www.soul-flower.com/mm5/merch...Category_Code=
This is an old Inkadinkado stamp called Tin Can Mail.
The flower and background writing are on the same stamp. I colored it with a blender pen and ink from stamp pad lids. This is so Victorian and I love the look of Victorian. I cut out the image with SU's label dies. I embossed with SU's finial press embossing folder, then added pearls, and a flower colored with bashful blue with another pearl.

Love your card & colors. I've had that stamp for ages & made some cards from it. Had one left so I uploaded it. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful that stamp can be when colored as perfectly as you did.
