Embedded Sympathy

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 297 - Embedded Image. I combined it with today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 91 - Sympathy. My layout is from Thursday's OUR CREATIVE CORNER SKETCH CHALLENGE # 32. This is there last sketch until 2011.
My backgroud image is Amazing Grace from Morning Star Stamps, the flower image is SU's Close As A Memory and the sentiment is SU's Fancy Flexible Phrases. I stamped the sentiment and background in Adirondack Espresso and the flower in versamark. I used Ranger Bright red ep on the flower and clear detail over the background before the flower was added.
Thanks Holly for this fun TLC. This realy does shine, here is a close up.
