I started out embossing my rose with clear EP on Cool Caribbean paper, the color I want to show through.
Next I rubbed Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip ink all over it with my sponge until I had a nice resist going and was happy with how dark my shirt was. I love how one sleeve is slightly lighter, it looks just like a designer wash, faded and funky. Then cut it out and mounted it on top of my stamped hanger.
I used the Black Market Lucky n Love DP which is all aquas and browns, one of my fave combos, this pack gives you ton of patterns to choose from in that palette, the "adore" was already on the DP (and I love the stitched look around it, reminded me of a t-shirt tag). I took that greeting a step further and added "I" and "U" from my "Little Tees" set. "Stylized flowers" are Cuttlebugged onto the Chocolate Chip mat and rubbed with white craft ink to make the pattern pop.
