I stamped my lovely hydrangea from the Because I Care set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the whole panel with versamark and clear embossed.
I over did the heat embossing intentionally so that the panel would look sort of embossed and sort of not. I call this distressed heat embossing because I overprocessed the embossing product. I added some Ranger brushed cordoroy ink over and created a vintage colored panel. I love the way it looks. It gives it a subtle stipple vintage look where the ink sinks into the overprocessed niches.
I used some Ranger antique linen and touches of vintage photo on the edges and tag. I stamped with river rock the En Francaise background.

This is gorgeous! I don't think I ever would have thought to use this stamp in black & white/neutrals. I love the vintage look you created and all the layers/texture. It's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
