I wish I had a wheat stamp...I have seen a few that I love! So I was kicking myself this morning that I didn't purchase one long ago...but overall I am happy with the end result, despite my having to create the wheat with paper. Luckily it is this gorgeous paper I purchased long ago and was "saving"! It was from the open stock at Utopia, a local store here in Rochester, but there is no name on the back!! I wanted to keep the wheat "soft" and the background a bit bolder....so I included a linear pattern from an older SU set, but stamped it on linen....same thing with the leaves...wanted bolder pattern, but softened with pearls. Kept the card base black so that everything would pop! As always GREAT IC Smilyn Stef!!

Oh Kelly Girl, this is so FLW if I say so myself! I love your perception of today's challenge! Your lines are so perfect for your embellishments. It's just one fabulously designed and executed card.
