Judy(StampingQueenJAR) asked us to be inspired by the beautiful Irish Belleek porcelain. In doing so, we were to create a softly colored embossed bg using our EFs which we had inked. It really creates a beautiful effect.
My card is inspired by a piece of Belleek which I own which is a teacup in the shape of a shell with tiny seashell feet. It is a beautiful creamy white color with lighter color accents. It had belonged to my Mother.

Oh, Sallie, this is so elegant. Put in my "faves" for future use. I can see this as a perfect "50th" wedding anniversary as well as a beautiful birthday card. Gorgeous!!!

This is so elegant trimmed in gold. Those dimensional flowers are wonderful..there is a definite Belleek feel to your card...this could easily be used as a wedding, anniversary or even sympathy card just by changing the sentiment..Well done Sallie!

Sallie I love the look of this card! The bg turned out beautifully and the spray of white flowers against the creamy bg looks great and the touches of gold pull it all together.
