Here is my take on the challenge!

sending love

I have used the Distress Stain Weathered Wood  on the background by rubbing the stain directly on paper to get the brush strokes effect. Then I used Layering Stencil Speckle and white embossing paste to add white spatter with texture to the background. 
For the focal point, I have used Simon Says Stamp Clustered Leaves die to die cut the leaves using vellum cardstock. The flowers are from Tim Holtz called Garden Flower #4. I black heat embossed on watercoloured paper and coloured using Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry distress inks. I hand cut them out and clustered them on top of the leaves using foam adhesives. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Texting stamp set which I stamped in black ink, cut out and adhered using foam adhesives as well. I embellished using Pink Blush sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
