I started with a piece of manilla cardstock trimmed to the size of the texture fade I wanted to use on top, and used distress inks in seedless preserves and picked raspberry on my card. Spritzed and flicked with water until happy and then embossed (it is from the fancy and floral frames set)
There is more of the seedless preserves on the card than really shows up, but I just cannot get a decent photo. Used Tim's butterflies stamp in black archival as my central image.
The wonderful people at Simon Says Stamp and sponsoring a random winner with a $25 voucher and given how many wonderful new things are coming out at CHA that are now on my wish-must-have list I would love to win, but good luck everyone!!
