The sanded cardstock is Kraft Core'dinations paper from the nostalgic collection. I sanded it to bring out the brown craft look. The other background paper and the paper I stamped the flowers on was created using plain White Neenah Classic Crest - Solar White.
The background papers were created using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Background. A video of that process can be viewed here: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Background Video. The Distress Ink Pad colors I used were milled lavender, and broken china. I also applied aged mahogany distress stickles in a thin layer around the edges of the flowers. I stamped the medium flower from the stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black and I applied Marvy Le Plume Permanent Markers to the center before cutting them out.
