Truthfully, I don't know what kind of inks I used on my two BG pieces. I'd guess Oxides on the leaf stenciled one and Distress on the lavender piece. I had to cut the lavender one down way more than I originally intended, which led me down a different design path. My littlest granddaughter picked these two flowers for me and I smashed them into an absorbent paper with the embossing machine. Experimenting, I daubed Boss Gloss onto the flowers, sprinkled on some UTEE and used the heat gun from behind to encapsulate them. Decided to die cut them with circles. These color combos are very different for me, but I am enjoying the mix.

Now I want to look up the quote and see what play it is from. A nice one for a teapotter, and lovely flower (I'll make sure you don't send them to Australia!! I'm sure they wouldn't let them in. They impounded a card of mine with Flower Soft, thinking it might be moss.) The leaf-stencilled background is absolutely beautiful.

Love your backgrounds, and the pressed flowers are wonderful - how cool that they were a gift from your granddaughter! Hope she was thrilled to see how her grandmother used them!
