I stamped the En Francais background stamp in Soft Suede on Whisper White. Then, I clear embossed Sweet Floral over it. Then...sponged Rose Red, Melon Mambo, River Rock, Soft Suede and Old Olive over the image. I rubbed the ink off the clear embossed with a paper towel and..there you go!
The bottom of the image is punched with the Decorative Label punch, side by side. I finished it off with Rose Red seam binding, an Antique brad and a few stamps from the Tiny Tags set. Last, but not least, I embossed the background with the Vintage Wallpaper folder.

Your card is just lovely. I like the embossed image surrounded by all the beautiful ink colors you chose. Your ribbon with the brad gives your card that finishing touch of elegant. So pretty! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
