I used Victorian velvet to distress the background with the diecut in place. I then used a distress marker 'Picked Raspberry' to ink up one of the flower stamps from the 'Remember' set AC028 from Hero Arts. I did not spray with water, that is not necessary with this set, it doesn't make the stamped image any nicer, but that is my opinion.
Then I gold embossed the sentiment (which is from Penny Black and I love it!) to finish it off. Oh yes, always love adding a couple of pearls from Hero Arts too.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and looking forward to the next one already.
Beautiful card. Thank you for another great way of using our dies. I will be giving this technique a try.

A gorgeous card Jacqueline. Love how soft it is and that is the perfect background for the sentiment.
