I realize that this medallion image might be a bit too detailed for a tattoo but it's so pretty I had to choose this stamp. The lovely bg is a RAK from Robin (Rachelrose). I've been holding onto it for quite awhile...I believe it's maybe a watercolor bg and then stamped with a large allover bg stamp. I was keeping it for something special and this morning when I took out this stamp I just knew I had found the perfect accompaniment. I applied some silver Inka gold to the edges and also some stickles to the medallion. Hope you like it!

Love this! Your stamp image goes perfectly with the background. I love the shade of blue in your focal image. The silver accents set it off and keep the whole card cool and elegant.

I would say your "tattoo" design is right on, Polly. The gal that does my pedicures has "sleeves" on both arms...very intricate and well done artisitic designs. Your card is lovely and "of the times". ; )

Polly!!!!! I forgot all about that BG! I think you have used it in a really surprising and wonderful way! Yes, it was a wrinkle-free distress BG over-stamped with an IO Cover A Card BG stamp. I absolutely love it against the formality of the medallion and the silver frame and lace. A beautiful juxtaposition that resulted in a lovely vintage card. Well done, my friend!
