I recently had a look through some SU catalogs and the latest one has some gorgeous stamps and other items in it. There were a few that I really loved, like the image below and I decided to splurge and purchase a few stamps during the Sale-a-Bration sale. I don't do that very often but a few of the stamps were ones that were just too good to pass up...
This image is one from a set called Rose Wonder and it is available with a set of dies to match the stamps. The dies for this image cut not only the outline but also all the tiny little pieces inside the image. I decided to cut the image in 4 different colours and then fit the pieces inside the open frame... It sounded like a good idea at the time - until 3 hours later when I was still piecing it together! I covered the black outline with Liquid Glass when I was finished and let it dry overnight.
The rest of the card came together quickly - a few embellishments, an embossed background and that's it.

The black embossing is stunning against the purple and pink rose...and I see a bit of my one of my favorite papers "Penelope". Beautiful.
