I started by smooshing a piece of glossy paper through some misted Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I got some great inky looking texture and let it dry. Then, I overstamped it twice with my new text background from RRD's new Behind the Scenes collection. I stamped first with the same Tumbled Glass ink and then stamped just a hair offset with Faded Jeans Distress. I liked the depth it gave the text.
I used this sweet collage image of the girl and paired it with a sentiment from RRD's Snow Hugs. Not Quite Navy and Night of Navy cardstock added the finishing touches.
