I used this pattern paper and the Textile embossing folder (Cuttlebug) to give this card a vintage feel. (The textile reminds me of the textured tin ceilings - a restaurant we used to frequent had one), I used a scrap of glossy cream CS for the embossed piece and the sentiment - though the ink does not take well. I added small strips of paper with a hand made look, and placed turquoise ribbon over that. It has been a long time since I tried the "faux bow" and I am not sure I did it correctly. (I made two parallel slits, and threaded the ribbon - first down, then up through the opposite slit.)
It is my first time to use this Verve set, New Mercies, my recent prize at Mojo Monday - yeah!
