I used this limited edition Clearly Besotted / Simon Says Stamptember set.
The diagonal stripe background is a piece of retired resist paper I’ve had for many, many years. The resist areas has a bit of shine so it looks really pretty IRL. It was die cut with an A2 sized stitched rectangle, then Shaded Lilac distress ink was blended on with a blender brush. And with any resist, excess ink was wiped away with a tissue. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black cardstock. For some sparkle, added clear shimmer to the flowers/bow and a few clear sparkly sequins to finish.
Thank you for dropping by. Enjoy your week.
