I layered Chocolate Chip and Sage Shadow. The Print Pattern bg was done in Chocolate Chip craft ink, then "stippled" with Itty Bitty Backgrounds in Close to Cocoa classic ink.
The middle layer was stamped with French Script in Chocolate Chip classic, then with Linen in Close to Cocoa and stippled with Itty Bitty Backgrounds in both Close to Cocoa classic and White craft inks. Not sure if I like Linen yet -- it's awfully subtle and hard to see. More of a "feel" than a real texture, know what I mean? It'll be good for distressing vintage looks, I think.
The central image is watercolored and the basket is "outlined" in loose Sage Shadow watercoloring. The edges are sponged in Chocolate Chip. Neither is really visible from the scan.

WOW! I love this combination. I know what you mean about the linen background, but I really can "feel" it in this one. You just sold me on the linen and the garden set...into my favorites. (And the color combo is one I never would have picked, but I love!!!)

This is beautiful! It caught my attention right away. Your creative background is outstanding ~ thanks for sharing! Didn't think I cared for the linen background but you may have changed my mind!!
