For this card, I chose a nice designer paper, which I promptly covered up! lol Do you ever do that? I stamped French Script inked with Gathered Twigs onto the designer paper. I then cut white card stock with a windows die and embossed it with the Sizzix Bricked folder. That was sponged with Gathered Twigs ink to bring out the embossing. The flourishes are cut with a die from an artichoke colored card stock and white. I then sponged on Ripe Persimmon distress ink and just a hint of Gathered Twigs. I glued those onto the card front. The sentiment was inked with Forest Moss and Ripe Persimmon inks and stamped onto white before cutting/embossing with Spellbinders lacy squares die. I then sponged the edges with Gathered Twigs ink. That is popped up with foam squares. I then tied a multi-loop bow and adhered it to the top corner of the sentiment panel. I used mini glue dots to shape the tails of the ribbon.
