On the top layer I sponged on Antique Linen thru the Weave stencil first, then added some texture paste. Once dry, I sponged on Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. I added some flicked on drops of color for interest.
For the burlap, I painted it with Gesso and then sponged on Picked Raspberry. I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the raised textured pasted areas and to the burlap. I had to add just a pinch of Raspberry to the edges of the card and added a bow.

This is gorgeous Shelly! Love that textured background and the image is so pretty! What an amazing card! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
this is gorgeous. you are QUEEN OF BACKGROUNDS in my book. a little chilly, but nice. hope you're enjoying the weather.
hugs :)
Love the use of the stencil. The flicks of colour do indeed add interest. All around gorgeous card!
Shelly, this is so lovely & fresh with the pinks & khaki color theme. Love the texture and the way you colored this top layer. Very effective with this gentle group of pretty flowers. I see that it's 'grunge' themed, but it's such a beautiful grunge! The 2 colors are striking used together, with the texture of that velvet-y look to your ribbon. TFS & Happy Wkend.
What a beautiful card! Love it!
I've never tried texture paste but I will now. Great looking card!
Shelley this beautifully coloured and designed. Loving the pink and kraft.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
