For the plain background, I blended a few Distress Inks: Peacock Feathers and Evergreen Bough at the bottom and Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar at the top.
Next, I heat embossed a branch from Clearly Besotted's Leafy Accent stamp set with the lovely Ranger Verdigris Embossing Powder - love the stuff! The little hearts are cut from scraps of First Edition's Love Letters paper. I gave the edges a lick of Gold Wink of Stella and a coat of the Clear. Then I popped them up on foam tape.
The sentiment, from Stamploration's It's All About You set, is heat embossed on vellum with Ranger's Superfine Detail Black EP.
