I shouldn't even be here, I should be doing the housework! I stamped two images before work and brought a pencil in with me, and thought I could make a quick card when I got home. Famous last words...it's nearly an hour later and I'll I've done is hang a wash out and put another one on.
My Soft Grey is so soft that if I stamp it off I can barely see it - so I reckoned it was a good ink to use. And while it may not look like it, I did add details to the image to make it more my own. This sort of challenge is out of my comfort zone but I did my best .
Base - stamped the script. Stamped the leaves. Crumpled the card and sponged with distress inks. Added chunky EP, and then to add a little definition round the edges, added a little black heat-embossing.
Punched the edge of my image to make it look as if it had come from a notebook, distressed the edges slightly and added some French Foliage splashes. Layered it up over a doily and added a ribbon knot from the box on my desk. Finished it off with a word die-cut...and now I'm off to do the housework.
Fun challenge, KellyJEan, I'm looking forward to using my second image later in the week, and I'll try with a more challenging one when I have time.

Lovely. I like that you made it look like a sketch from a notebook page.
