How elegant these colors are, and they are so basic to boot. Who would have thunk it!!!! I pulled out some old stamps and a Nestie set I have not use once and I've had it for at least 5 years!!!! My card base is BB and my large mat is SU Floral bg stamp stamped in Real Red on WW cs. I cut my decorative strips using the Floral Doily Accents which were used for the first time today.................I ran them through my Xyron before attaching them to the mat. I then wrapped my ribbon down the middle and then attached my mat to my cb. I then stamped my image in Momento Black and colored with my Spectrum Noirs. I matted it on Real Red and then on the BB decorative mat and popped it up over my strips. Last I adhered some red rhinestones to the corners of the image and the BB decorative mat. TFL ladies.

I'm so glad you used that floral stamp as your background. Makes me want to pull mine out and make something pretty, too! Your central image is perfect against the floral background, and I love all the die cuts. Now that you've seen what a great job those dies do, I hope you'll use them more often. They kick the card up a notch, for sure!
