MIM # 214 Stamping with Neutrals

Dawn has a really pretty card video over at the 
Stamping with Neutrals!
I stamped my background with Background Basics:  Tin types and then used a very tiny dot from Bold Bouquet for the little dot in the center.  I stamped the background with soft stone and the dot with dark chocolate stamped off once.
My flowers are from Frilly Flowers.
I used a sentiment from Keep it Simple:  Sympathy

I loved Dawn' background and now feel like I better buy that stamp!
Talk about enabling!!  * wink *

Bless you for this design, Colleen! That was one of the stamps sets that I HAD to have, but I find it very difficult to create with. You rocked the challenge and fast, too! I haven't even seen the video yet! Hugs, Darnell
