Beautifully Baroque!

Well, snow has arrived in my neck of the woods – not a lot, just a little!  (Did I mention I hate snow?!)  I was busy in my stamp room creating and fell in love with this stamp set "Beautifully Baroque".  I got my inspiration from Deb Valder, but changed it up a bit by using my new favorite stamp set!!!  What do you think?  You can post your comments at the end of this post – I would LOVE to hear them!  This stamp set is featured on page 113 of the Idea Book and Catalog.   Stay tuned tomorrow for another take on this card – but it is for Christmas!!!
