Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Something New

Hello, friends.  It's the first Saturday of the month, and that means it's time for a new challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Goes, and this month's optional is Something New.

The stamp I used isn't new to the PB line, but it is new to me, so I went with it.

PB Stamps:

Scented Beauty

Faith clear set

Various older stamps in background

Critter Party (older clear set)

How I made my card:

• 
  On desert sand card stock, I white embossed the Scented Beauty image.
• I used finger sponge daubers to add distress inks in scattered straw and ripe persimmon to the flowers, and peeled paint and forest moss to the leaves.  I wiped off the embossing with a soft clean cloth.
• For the background, I used the same daubers to carry some of the colors around the image, then stamped some older stamps faintly intermittently.
• I stamped the happy birthday from the Critter Party set.
  
• I distressed the edges with ripe persimmon distress ink, and added some pearl accents. 
• INSIDE:  I distressed the inside, then stamped a verse from the Faith Clear set, and added some background stamping.
