Trying to use some more of my Cosmo Cricket 'Gretel' DP. I love the aged, vintage look of these papers, and I tried to add to that look by stamping the large DP panel with the Weathered background stamp and heavily sponging the edges with both Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip ink. The flower is first samped in Craft White ink, then embossed with a clear embossing powder and Dazzling Diamonds mixture. There are four layers in the flower, the edges sponged with Cocoa ink and separated by dimensionals.
Lots of different brands of ribbon in this 'Ribbon Blossom'--Martha Stewart, Michael's, Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart. (I'm not picky!)
I hope you like it---and thanks so much for looking! Have a wonderful day!!
(FYI--The 'Ribbon Blossom' tutorial is now posted on my blog. If you stop by, be sure to let me know what you think. Thanks!)

Absolutely Spectacular!!! I LOVE the color combination, not to mention all the "extra" little details! It's amazing to me what just alittle thing like sponging the edges or adding some DDiamonds can do to a project!
Thanks sooo much for sharing!! :-)

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
This is absolutely fabulous, lover everything about. Sadly we do not have the flower stamp here in Australia, but it will be my first purchase if it is in the years catalogue. TFS
