After it dried, I added a little stickles on top of the white pigment, waited for it to dry, then overstamped the image to bring back the details.

All of the designer paper pieces were left over strips &amp; rectangles I put together as you see. For the texture, I added an embossed white layer for the upper right side &amp; also a little more texture in the die cut grosgrain ribbon piece &amp; embossed double bow.
