Mirror Mirror !

I haven't been doing anything crafty for ages. I am much more into dog training now that I found some sports that my very shy dog can do with confidence. I want to get her far along in her Scent Detection training before the new puppy arrives.
I was trying (not very successfully ) to clean off my desk, and I found my new Impression Obsession Floral Frame stamp again. Rather than put it away, I added to the mess and dug out more stuff to make this card.
I am absolutely thrilled with how the wood grain piece turned out. Even my DH says it looks like a piece of wood veneer!

This photo is rather deceptive. It looks like either the floral frame is stamped right on the background, or that I was skilled (and crazy) enough to fussy cut the whole thing. I have to admit that I got the effect I wanted!
The background was stamped using Impression Obsessions Woodgrain Cover-a-card (CC034) on Bristol with a combo of Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain and then painted over with a wash of Gathered Twigs re-inker. The floral frame was heated imbossed in white, painted with Twinks and that background was painted to match the woodgrain. Only the outer edge was fussy cut. The black frame was covered in Glossy Accents and the centre was cut out so I could put a piece of silver paper in to look like a mirror. Some of the flowers I restamped and raised up.
The sentiment is also from IO. It's called "Always Believe" ( C17024).

I'm entering this in the IO Spring Colours Challenge.
