I actually did this a few weeks back for a challenge of things you hoard and something not been used... note to self... be more prompt in uploading grasshopper! ha ha!
Oh well. I was playing around yet again with those Distress Inks, so this has some layering that you kind of have to look for. It was also my sad farewell to the IN Colors from StampinUp.
I started by rubbing some Fired Brick onto the textured cardstock, then lifted color back out with French script. That's how I got the soft impression of French script in the background. I then stamped over that with the flower and clear embossed it. I rubbed in a little more Fired Brick over the embossed flower to darken it up a little.
The Fresh Cuts image was stamped in river Rock, and then I colored it in with a blender pen. I accented the flowers and the butterfly with Glossy Accents. The ribbon is from a SU pack, and why I never use them not sure, they are all so pretty I just can't bear to part with them... haha!
