Golden Brown....

Anytime I hear the words golden brown I think of something delicious. I think that might have been part of my inspiration for this card. (All that good thanksgiving cooking.) Daria sent me this Hero Arts Antique Map Background stamp which I love! (Thank you Daria!) She did this as a lovely surprise for me... knowing that I had admired it. What a wonderful gift to find in the mailbox yesterday along with a lovely card.

I thought I was going to make a masculine card but the butterfly showed up and some flowers. :)

Great use of the stamp Suzz. I love the browns and the flowers don't make it look girly at all... Love the thin gold edges. Beautifully done.

Totally gorgeous card, love that map background too. 'Golden brown' reminds me of that song from the '70s, very trippy :)
