This is the set we got at Regionals in Virginia Beach Saturday and I absolutely love it! I especially like the Paisley border stamp in it.
I'm going to call the background 'Faux Designer Paper.' It's just strips of 'scrap' cardstock (I really cut it just for this, but you could save up all those strips for similar projects.) Use your adhesive liberally when applying the strips and just butt them up close together. I then cut the wavy edge and stamped the paisly on the inside edge peeking out (hard to see in the photo). To make the long frame behind the flower (the original stamp is only half the length) I inked up only 3 sides of the stamp using my marker, stamped, reinked the same three sides and stamped the other end using the stamp-a-ma-jig to line it up. The flower is popped out using a dimensional.

LOL Bobkitten...funny you should say 'Groovy' because that's exactly the word that came to mind when I made this card too. I had wallpaper in my bedroom with flowers almost like this one, only in bright orange and pink! Are we telling our ages here or what??? LOL
