Now the ribbon was originally white, and it was a bit too white for my taste, so I wanted to "age" it.......so I place my "flower" in a little bowl and dumped my used coffee grounds right on top of it! When they are dry, shake 'em off and voila! Instant vintage flower! : ) I added a pearl button to the center that was colored with a pink Copic marker.
Be sure to check out the rest of the designer's beautiful creations!!
