Hope you've all had a good weekend! I've been busy making the most of the glorious sunshine we've had here today, but that's not to say I haven't found a spot of time to get inky!
I decided to play along with Becky's Compose A Card Challenge #6. I like how you get an accurate recipe of ingredients and then just see where it takes ya:
I loved the idea of embossing with white ep on soft stone cardstock, it's so subtle but so pretty too.
I was nearly done with this card but felt it needed something else...I dared to ink up a big Damask Design and stamp over my embossed panel (with my breath held tight LOL!) I'm not sure if I like it, but it provides more of a focal point anyways! Oh and I distressed the edges a bit with Enchanted Evening ink too - I think I must be on a distressing kick at the mo!

Just a quick post tonight, it's late and I need to sleep! So wish I could watch the Oscars tonight but I'd be a walking zombie for work tomorrow if I did, darn that time difference!
Thanks soooooo much for stopping by! Be sure to stop by soon when I draw a winner for my Blog Candy and we also have a new challenge on our PTI blog!
Catch ya later!

it's absolutely perfect!
Ooooh Aimes, I love it!! Very brave to go with that big damask but it totally paid off I think! Gives you a little break from CAS too, haha!
Hasn't it been *wonderful* having some sunshine this weekend?! I even had to put the cool air on for a minute in my car! Now I really can't wait for Summer, lol!!
Your card is gorgeous! I love the damask image over the smaller ones. Perfect!
Great job on this challenge!! And kudos to you for experimenting!!! That's the best way to learn! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is beautiful Aimes! I love the big damask over the embossed ones and the ribbon/border combo is gorgeous! I really struggled with this challenge, which is a pity as EE is my fav!!
*gasp* this is stunning! I LOVE that you stamped over your embossed part...it looks so shabby chic!
Absolutely stunning card. I love the finishing touches that you added. Really beautiful details.
Wow Aimes, I love it! The blue damask and distressing gives the card an icy feel--very cool effect!! And what fun to try something new!
Very cool! Glad to hear the warm weather has found it way to you too! Now if it would just stick around for awhile.
Gorgeous card Aimes!! :)
This is gorgeous!! LOVE that larger damask image stamped on top of the background, such a cool look!
So beautiful and elegant! Love the blue and cream! I never ever watched the Oscars and always wanted to! Always had to work the next day and now I am too exhausted because of my little monkey! Ha, we have to go there one day ;)
Hugs,

Good decision to stamp the large damask design. The card is so lovely! I always like distressed elegant look. Hope your week is off to a good start.
So glad you were brave!!! It turned out so great.
So priddy - it reminds of antique lace. What a creative and stunning result Aimes
