Well, I could help myself and have indeed kept playing with these colours. Then again, I did have to make up for the absence of ribbon, dimensionals and hardware on my previous card! For the background I have used second generation impressions of the large medallion stamped in Regal Rose and to soften this even more I have laid vellum cardstock over-top. The flower center on the main image is from the circular stamp in the True Friend set, punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch... I was so excited last night when I realised that it has six petals too and created such a pretty punchie, I love the shape of that flower in the punch!ETA: to answer Tina/travellingmama's question about the vellum, I haven't done anything special to keep the vellum down in the corners (you can probably see in the photo how the vellum has tipped forward a bit and the light is shining through it from the back!). The SU! vellum cardstock is very good at not curling at the edges, so for this card I only stuck it down a bit behind the main image; it's also been secured along the right edge by the ribbons and in the middle by the brad.

wouah j'aime beaucoup ! le fond est très beau !
The background on your card is absolutely gorgeous - so soft and sweet. Lovely card Carol (and I love how you mention what show you were watching while constructing the card! - that is awesome!!! I do that too and whenever I see those cards - it reminds me whatever shows... LOL!)
Gorgeous! Is there a trick to getting the vellum to stay down in the corners or do you just let it come away from the other paper?
OH wow! Genius work with the vellum, something I tend to avoid. Love it!
glad you keep playing because this is so pretty =)
