I created this beautiful flower using a heavy white color cardstock, a lovely (XL) flower paper punch, mini mister and Tim Holtz distress ink in *spun sugar*...I also use Perfect pearls *blue patina* for adding a little bit of whimsy!

September Challenge for "More Paper Than Shoes"!



This is it!!!...My September challenge for "More Paper Than Shoes"!!!

The theme was "Rusty Bucket" - We had to use twine and a piece of metal. The technic was Torn Paper.
I use a printed paper I had in my collection since I started doing scrapbooking in 2005!!! I torned each side and distressed it with Tim Holtz distress ink. I fold a couple of torned corners and I used Rock Candy crackel paint to add an even more distressed look! A few embellishments later and VOILA!!!
