The image panel is stamped first, masked the flower off using a sticky note. Using a thin tracing paper, lie it over the image, draw a curvy line to cut and also act as a mask. Stamp the script image on.
With a sea sponge, daub on the saffron ink. With a finer sponge apply the distress ink to the edges with a dragging movement.
Remove the mask and color in the image.
Celery ink and the square images were stamped on the designer paper.

Roxie, this is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Love those colors together and that stamp is magnificent! Yikes, I have no idea how you did this even though you provided a step by step tutorial! It's way beyond my capabilities. This is just wonderfully awesome!
