My background was created by inking up the damask stamp with soft purple and stamping it repeatedly across the background.
The flowers were painted with a mix of purple spray and white paint. The ribbon received the same treatment. The Eiffel tower was painted and then stenciled with translucent embossing paste and a coat of silver embossing powder was sprinkled on while the paste was wet. After it dried it was heat embossed.
