Just poppin’ in with a quick card today. I used the Gamsol Technique with this stamp set. It is by far my favorite technique. I’ve done it for a quite awhile, but never did it right, until I saw Gina K’s video over at Stamp TV. After starring at this card while I’m typing, I think I should of put another Night of Navy lacy layer over the Lovely Lilac lacey layer. I think that would of made a richer looking card. Oh well… Let me know what you think. Here’s the close up of the flower. I love embossing over them. I don’t have any special reasoning for it, just like the looks of it.

Very pretty Carla! I love your little scalloped edges and as always, beautiful coloring!
Purple and green is always so pretty together.
Let me just say : Purple with Navy is super sharp! I love that color combo! You have totally inspired me this morning!
I love that you embossed the flower! Extra texture is extra rich!
I wouldn't change a thing. Your coloring is divine. How about sharing your projects with bigger photos? They are very worthy of showing off!
Hugs,
