Have you tried out the Stampin' UP! Sponge Brayers yet? I've used them on lots of backgrounds for my cards recently and I'm so thrilled with them!!! Find these great crafting tools on page 180 in the 2016 Stampin' UP! catalog or HERE in my online store.
To achieve these beautiful, soft results, ink the sponge brayer by rolling it a few times on your Stampin' UP! ink pad then roll it on the Irresistibly Floral paper which already had white glossy patterns on each sheet, and the glossy pattern RESISTS the ink!! It's like magic!! Be sure to buff off any excess color with a tissue or paper towel after adding the ink.
I had to ink and apply the ink to the paper about 2 or 3 times, fading out to the right to get lighter results on the right side and darker results on the left.

Good morning Patty, Love your card.I just love the floral paper. I have a good bit of the Irresistibly Yours DSP that was in the last catalog, but I love this floral print. You can do soooo much with this paper and it’s so pretty and I like that you can make it any color you want. I just got my goodies Monday and yours last night, so now I’m REALLY ready to play around with them. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card. Have a great day.
