Then I added a white riboon around dark purple layer.

Then I cut and embossed the white layer using my rectangular nestabilities die then I sponged it using chocolate chip ink. Image was stamped using chocolate chip ink and colored in with prismacolor pencils. White ribbon was wrapped around darker pink cb swirl embossed layer.
