Isn't this just a beautiful card? I was inspired by this purse I bought off the clearance rack at Wal-mart last spring. It was too dark to use in the summer but perfect for right now:

I used the browns and the "Taken with Teal-ish" colors and ended up with a "Not Quite Navy/Chocolate Chip" creation! I started off with the "Vintage Ornaments I" stencil and a sponge dauber with my Not Quite Navy Classic pad. I used a bit of "Dotto" on the back of the Very Vanilla Top Note and on the back of the stencil to hold it in place. After I had the ornament all inked up, I layered the "flourishy/misteltoe-ish" stencil on top and daubered on "Champange Mist" Shimmer Paint! I sponged the edges of the Top Note first with the NQN ink, then sponged along the edges with Chocolate Chip ink! I layered this on top of a mat of Autumn Meadows DSP I had sponged with NQN ink. The inside is similarly sponged with the same ink combo. I decided to not embellish with anything else, this card stands on it's own! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Ta!
