There is a lot going on on this card. It started with the paisly background being stamped in brown stazon on a piece of acetate. Since the whole image did not turn out perfect I cut to the part that looked good and this is the size I was left with. Nest I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock the same size and sponged Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink on it in a random pattern. To attach the acetate to the card stock I added a row of six brads in the same three colors on the right hand side. The rest of the card just emerged from there. I already had the medallion sitting on my workspace from the last card so I tried to use that with the same three colors. Since the colors are soft it is hard to see them in the picture. I stamped it it twice so I could raise up a part and then added a large chocolate brad to the center. The papers and stickers are from the old retired SAB kit from last year and the rub ons are from this years SAB. And of course I finished it off with three MORE brads of the same colors in the rub on flowers! Ten brads on one card!
Stamps: BoHo Backgrounds and Paisley Background
Ink: Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Timber Brown Stazon
Paper: Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White card stocks and the retired stripes from last years SAB kit
Other: Lots of brads, rub ons from this year's SAB, stickers from last years SAB kit, 1" circle punch, nestabilities die, .

Wow...love this. Great idea on just using part of the acetate image...and paisley! I haven't pulled out this BG forever! A great color combo esp. with all the accents you added!
