One Stop Crafts - Make your own DP

I really love the Vintage jumbo roller from Stampin' Up which I used for this background paper. I began by punching out some flower shapes and laying them on a piece of paper before spritzing it with Shimmer Mist in Antique Copper and then using the roller with Basic Gray ink.
I distressed the edges with a little Cats Eye ink in copper.
The French Script stamp is from Hero Arts and the butterfly is Anita's, which I stamped in SU Basic Gray ink and quickly embossed with clear embossing powder before colouring with Perfect Pearls in Antique Copper. The corners are my old faithful Cuttlebug!
I think that's it!
Enjoy your weekend!

    Great way to create your own background and love your centre embellishment, the butterfly and script are just right. The corners - favourites of mine always look good. ikki

    Lovely card - I've been teaming that roller with butterfly embellies too. I can't stop using it I love it so much, I have been rolling it over my envelopes to use the excess ink.

    Great Job! I love all of the distressing techniques you used and the roller is very pretty--I thought it was vintage paper! :)
