This is the first card that I've tried out a new marbleised background technique that I learnt from Marie Gamber's Creative Backgrounds class over at Color Me Creative Classroom. Not sure if I got it "quite right" but I don't think it's too bad for a first attempt.

Stamps:Flourishes "Stitched for You" and sentiment from Flourishes "Winter Blossoms"
Ink: Memento "Tuxedo Black", Memento "Rich Cocoa" and Distress Ink "Walnut Stain"
Cardstock and Papers: Bazzill 12"x12" textured cardstock (dark brown - not sure of the exact name), Creativ textured cardstock (light brown), X-Press It blending card, AnnaBelle Stamps patterned paper (from a mixed pack).

Update - 17 November 2013:
Soooo excited that my card was one of three randomly chosen to win the Flourishes November release - 3 new sets! I can hardly wait to receive them! The three sets that Flourishes has released this November are: Grab a Cup; Friendship and Flowers; and So Distressed. So many ideas are running through my head already :-)
