I used some scalloped shaped SB for my nesting shapes, one I stamped a floral design and the other was stenciled with leaves. I used embossing paste that I had colored with gelatos (shaved a bit of the stick and mixed). My bg paper is sort of a mulberry one although it's a bit heavier so maybe it's just a handmade paper. Anyway I stamped a leaf stamp several times on that and colored in some of the leaves with Izink gold ink. I also used this to edge the leaf and floral nesties. Thanks for looking! I'm thrilled to be part of the Mix Ability team!

Congratulations, Polly! What a wonderfully perfect fit for your talents!
I love the way you incorporated the repeating shapes into your design. The flowers are so pretty, and the leafy background with the touches of gold is wonderful!

Ooh, what a great way of adding colour to your texture paste, I must try that. Love the layered look with the mulberry base, textured leaves and beautifully coloured florals.
Love that you used the mulberry like paper. I have a drawer full of it and you are reminding me to use it! Your gold edging really makes your card pop. Thank you for sharing your creation.

Oh what a perfect match....your creativity is ideal for the Mix team. This beautiful card just prooves it. The floral circle looks like a wonderful piece of jewelery. The bg paper is so pretty and the gelato paste leaves all adds up to one great card. Into my favs.
