A New Stamp!

I've been on a bit of a clothes-buying spree lately, so I've been trying not to spend on crafting goodies, but failing pretty dismally. (I needed the clothes - I'm sick of wearing things that just look done!) Anyway, one of my purchases is a gorgeous stamp from Crafty Individuals which I simply fell in love with. Unfortunately, I didn't have any Kling on or Ez mount, so I had to stick it directly to a rock-a-block and I think that compromised the quality a little. (I've had to order some because when I walked to Hobbycraft today, they'd run out.)

Anyway, undeterred, I stamped the image in Versamark and added some Perfect Pearl.

I've used three colours of Perfect Pearls - a gold, a bronze, and a turquoise, matting the result on some textured bronze card and then on some turquoise. The background was made in a similar fashion, although the stamps here are Hero Arts clear stamps. And all I added to complete the card was some gold ribbon!

I'll have another go at this style of card once I've got some sponge mount on the stamp - I suspect that some of the fine detail will be clearer, although I'm not too unhappy with how it did here.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
