I feel like I am getting back into my stampin' groove now. I was able to finish my project for a submission and had some time left before bed to stamp a birthday card JUST FOR FUN! This card was so enjoyable to create. The colors are so regal and yet soothing to me. The patterned paper is by Daisy D's. Picked it up at Hobby Lobby many months ago and have finally started using it. I think it goes perfectly with the Paisley and Linen background stamps.
I also tried my hand at "roughing up" the edges a little so the card looks a little shabby. I don't have any tools to distress (yet!), so I had to just use my fingers to manipulate the edges. I am pretty happy with the results.
Have I mentioned that I *LOVE* this new Paisley stamp???

Gorgeous. Love the rich, vintage feel to this. As Dawn (dawnmercedes) indicated, you DO take fantastic pictures of your cards. Would you mind pm'ing me and sharing your secret?
