Colors courtesy of this week's color challenge. I stamped the flower in Regal Rose Craft and clear embossed it. I would have liked to use a little more Regal Rose, but the Craft color is just a bit off. I added the Summer Sun to try to perk it up but I'm not sure it helped much. To make the Print Pattern background, I sponged Blush Blossom on Whisper White, then stamped with Versamark, shaded with Stampin' Pastels and sprayed with matte sealer.

Beautiful layout Leslie, especially the bg, and thank you for taking the time to explain how you created this lovely card. I saw another one yesterday or today with the same bg and couldn't figure out how she had done her beautiful card -- now I know. Both are really creative, but a little different -- that's what I like about SCS -- I'm always learning something new!! tyfs

Hi Leslie - very cool card! I love how you created the background. I'll have to try that. I HAD to have the pastels and now they sit in the bottom of my storage. this is a great reason to get them out!
