I apologize for the delay in sharing the remainder of my cards from my Dark and Moody Background Tutorial at Stamps & Stencils. This time of year, with getting the kids settled back in school, is extremely busy and I'm doing my best to keep up. Please bear with me. :) As always, I appreciate your visits & comments.
I have fallen in love with these cutouts by Heidi Swap, found at Joann's. I love the lacy element they add to the dark backgrounds. Here I stamped Blazing Poppies by IndigoBlu for my base. I layered with Finnabair butterflies, a thank you banner, a coordinating Prima flower, and vintage seam binding. I tucked some real lace in between my layers.

Lots of lovely layering going on here and your Dark and Moody background shows through beautifully through the white floral die cut. The pretty flower, butterflies and ribbon make for the perfect finish. Thank you for joining us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges. Sandra x
It was worth the wait Autumn as this is stunning! Seriously I love the colours, the texture, the depth, everything is wonderfully beautiful about this card. Real life should always take precedence hun so I'm sure everyone understands Karen xx

Your "dark and moody" backgrounds are incredible, Autumn! Just think of all the different ways they could be featured, and made "dark" or "full of light" - either way! You have such a way with colors and textures. Thanks for sharing! hugs, de (who is in love with your card)
Lovely card! Love all the details! :)

Yummmmm! You nailed that background, Autumn! This reminds me of one of my mom's favorite shirt waist dresses....which I loved, so that's a compliment! Always a treat to stop by and visit your lovely handiwork! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Frilly and Funkie Things with Wings Challenge!

gorgeous background and love all those layers...Thanks so much for sharing with us at FSC...Esther xx
gorgeous artsy card....thanks for joining RRR!
This is so lovely, Autumn! It reminds me of lichen after the rain...one of my favorite things. Those spattered metallic sprays really make everything pop. The sweet little butterflies and pretty ribbon cluster keep it from feeling too dark and moody. Gorgeous work...but then yours always is! Thanks for sharing with us at the Really Reasonable Ribbon "things with wings" challenge!
