I wanted to use the Affection Collection set, especially the little set of wings with the heart, so that was my starting point.  I decided on going the shabby chic/distressed route also.  First I stamped the wings twice with   Stazon Black ink and fussy cut them out.  I sponged real red onto the bottom set and crumb cake on the top set.  I cut a heart out of red glimmer paper and layered it on the wings with a dimensional.  

  I ran the red background paper through my Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper EF, then sponged it with Crumb Cake ink for more distressing/antiquing.

I've seen a few different tutorials on how to do the crinkly bow, like on my card, but the easiest way I've found to do this is to first tie your ribbon in a bow, spray it with water, crinkle or wad it up in your hand, and then use your heat tool to dry it.  Easy Peasy! 

 The rest is pretty self explanatory. 

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Paper: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Polka Dot Parade DP, First Edition Dp, Red Glimmer

Ink: Real Red, Stazon Black, Crumb Cake
