I have a card today using one of Chocolate Baroque's new Big Bold Backgrounds - Leafy Trails. I've combined it with the single Rose from the Rose & Thistle set.
I stamped & embossed all the images with Gold and painted with my mica water colour paints. Before I painted, I blended Tattered Rose Distress Ink around the background. The ribbon is hand painted silk which is a richer colour than the photo shows.
Thanks for stopping by & have a great day !

A perfect combination! Just love the stamps and the colours you picked! The little bit of red in the background is so delicate! Have a good Sunday, Gerrina
Such a stunning card Shirley, the background goes so well with the main image. It's the sort of card that would be suitable for allsorts of occasions.
Hope you're having a great weekend.

Great stamping Shirley! Looks so fragile...
have a nice Sunday, Alie :-)
I sat & just looked, then looked, then looked again for I couldn't quite believe my eyes. I wondered if I'm seeing things or hallucinating......... but..... that bottom leaf on the rose stem, flip it over so you have the leaf point facing right, shift it a little to the right until it lies on top of your upper left wing of the bow; it's an identical match!!!.
I love your use of the Tattered Rose to create that softness for the whole creation & the way the shine of the mica & wet embossing is hightlighted by the sparkle of your ribbon is quite terrific.

Shirley, such an elegant card - just beautiful roses, and your "hint" of a background is gorgeous. The gold embossing contributes to the elegance. What is more timeless than roses and gold? So incredibly pretty!
I love the way you've put the single rose in the forefront and the foliage in the background! A lovely presentation!
So soft pretty and feminine Shirley! A gorgeous creation! We are finally above zero and hope you are too!
