Stef, cool site today. Got to admit tho, this one was a little tough for me. I went waaaaay outside my comfort zone to make this card. Just about didn't post it. Still don't know why I did......that's how uncomfortable I am with this card. Oh well........details.....
Not sure how this came about, but my focus was on the center of this plate . I knew I had a stamp somewhere that would work. After much searching, I found it and few others I want to use. hehe I stamped my main flower on black cs using versa mark then white ep. Made a mask of the flower, put it on then stamped the vines all around with versa mark and white eb. Cut this out with a circle coluzzle. Ran a line around the edge with a versa mark pen and white ep. Set aside.
On a glossy linen card, I stamped the vines in the corners with versafine onyx black and clear ep.
Glued the circle to the card. Sorry, but it just needed some color so I stamped the small dots with versa mark and red ep. Still needed something. Found this left over Rubbernecker birdie on my table so I popped him up and bravely took a picture.
Well, I am sure you are shocked about as much as I am that I actually made a card like this. You just never know........thanks for stopping by.... & TFL :0)

I understand about going out of your comfort zone, I did with the card I made too. Well the story that goes with it anyway. But back to your card now. I understand, but it is truly a beautiful card. I tell you I could get used to seeing cards like this from you any day my dear. See how fun it is when you step out of the comfort zone. You did well my friend, just pat yourself on the back and then hug yourself for me okay. TFS
