distressing

well this is a first for me I wanted to enter sir stampalot challenge but I have'nt done this kind of thing before.What I did was to stamp the flourish in clear embossing then covered with deep embossing powder and put the heat gun on to it, then used distress ink pads, In green and orange I distressed all over and the stamped image worked as a resist,  the punched flowers leaves and tag I  also inked
