I immediately thought of both this stamp and a lovely Phyllis Harris one from Unity.
I stamped and masked my image, then stamped the flourish backgrounder in Versamark and embossed with silver EP. Then I sponged with Stormy Sky distress ink, and Mowed Lawn for the (masked off) grass. Coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and stamped over it again to sharpen it up. Edged with a black Sharpie.
I swiped my grey base with a versamark pad and buffed Perfect Pearls into it, so it's a bit shimmery. Spattered with gold Twinkling H2Os, and drew a black border, adding a gem in each corner.

Gracie's Teapot Tuesday challenge this week is truly inspiring! Your attention to detail in masking and stamping the image, combined with the beautiful embossing and coloring, creates a stunning card. The touches of shimmer and gold splatters add an extra layer of elegance.

Now that is a perfect windy day image. I like how you used the swirly background stamp. (I looked for a swirly EF to use on my card, but I don't have one; using a swirly stamp, which I do have, didn't occur to me.)
