Large all occasion card with a watercoloured lake scene over a stamped and pieced background

This lake scene is from Public Domain Vectors.   I laser printed it, trimmed it to size and then watercoloured it.  Fun to try something new - reflection of the sky on the water in yellow, oranges and reds.  I wanted a textured background for this beautiful scene so I found some gray paper and then stamped it in a light gray ink with this harlequin stamp (SU) but because this stamp is hard to clean I got a very grayed brown image.  It worked so I just kept going.  I stamped "worn" (SU) over the top in black and that was even better.  I collaged two strip of gray to a black one and embossed that with a diamond embossing folder.  Added three pewter eyelets and tied in a piece of black ribbon.  I adhered this background to a dark gray card and then mounted by lake scene over the strip using 3D foam tape.  Very happy with how this one worked out.  Theres
