Such lovely ribbons on the Inspiration Site, Renaissance Ribbons! I was inspired by THIS ribbon. After stamping the blooms onto the dk charcoal paper, I colored them w/ Prismas, then stamped again to bring back the details. I used a little out of the box on the stems.
The horizontal band was stamped w/ a distressed circles bg using the Distress oxide ink. On the greeting circle, I used the Misti again, to stamp it first w/ the oxide ink then shifted it slightly, & stamped it again in black. Itâs subtle, but gives it a nice shadow.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ product links & more details: The Write Stuff

I was so focused on those gorgeous blooms that I totally missed the "out of the Box" stems until I read your description. Over stamping the blooms after coloring really elevates the definition. Love the whimsy of the sponged polka dots in the bg.
