Playing with Backgrounds

I recently pulled out an old stamp set...'Stamped Stiches' from 'Hot Off The Press'... and decided to create some backgrounds.
Here I have used Smokey Grey and Jet Black  from Versafine Ink.
I then used a photograph that I took in London, as the focal image. I particularly like this rose, because, it is not perfect!
the lovely sentiment is from 'Hero Arts'  'All Occassion Messages'.
I love the way this card turned out..what do you think?
Thanks for stopping by...
Enjoy!
