I had a terrible time photographing this. It's just too soft and muted. So you'll have to believe me when I say that, while it is soft and muted, it has more color and definition than the picture. I wanted to use some dp/vellum that I've hoarded for a while and an old Anna Griffin stamp. Both the background dp and the rectangle vellum are already embossed. I used an oval instead of a smaller rectangle and colored the flower basket with chalks over Versamark. I don't have any dies that are a fancy shape so I used a deckle edge rectangle. tfl

Love this card. I have that Ann Griffin stamp but have never used it. I love the idea of using chalk over Versamark. What a beautiful card you have made and I am sure it is even pretty in real life. Sometimes you just can't get the photo to capture all the textures and colors. You have inspired me to get out my Ann Griffin stamps and experiment. Thanks.

I've never done chalk over versa mark; I need to try that one. I think I've said that before......Beautiful soft colors and texture, oh so pretty, and your sparkle is perfect~

Your card is very elegant and beautiful!!! I know how frustrating it can be when you create something so lovely, and just can't capture it in the photo. Maddening!! I can tell though that this is a very special and pretty card. :>)
