For the T I chose to use the Tapestry Technique and discovered two different versions for it.
The first one I found on Split Coast stampers. On cream coloured cardstock I applied two different colours of Fluid Chalk inks and blended them together. You can also use distress or pigment inks and of course more than two complimentary colours.
I chose a floral stamp and stamped over the dry background with white pigment in and set it aside to let it dry well. You can heat set it by placing a piece of newsprint paper over it and iron it with a dry iron, or heat set with a heat gun.
If you want you can emboss the whole piece with clear embossing powder, but I decided to leave it as is.
I used a Tim Holtz ticket stamp and sentiment to complete the card. Linlnk for this variation:

The second variation I found on Youtube. Tapestry Paper Vintage technique
I stamped a text stamp on off white cardstock in a light brown dye ink.
Using a wadded/crinkled piece of plastic wrap and shimmer paint, dab off some of the paint them dab over the surface. You want subtle areas, not big blobs. I don’t have shimmer paint, and used scribbles and some of the Tim Holtz Dabber Pearl paint. You could probably experiment with other paints which have a shimmery effect.
Brayer a light coat of a pink toned dye ink over the surface. (I used Marvy Rose Pink).
Clean brayer and add a tan or light brown dye ink over the pink. (I used Old Paper Distress Ink).
Make sure the inks are completely dry and if necessary use an anti-static pad such as SU embossing buddy, then ink a stamp with pigment ink and embossing powder of your choice. I used Merlot pigment ink and Terra Cota embossing powder.
