This months blog hop challenge is to use tissue paper. I know allot of you out there have been using tissue and making some amazing cards,so I decided to try my hand at it! So here goes my first shot at tissue paper .I started off with PTI Sweet Blush cardstock,then layered a piece of Fancy Pants Designs patterened paper on that.I then took a piece of PTI Ripe Avocado and cut it in the shape I needed and embossed it with PTI Picnic Plaid Impression Plate.Then I cut strips of tissue paper that my stamp sets are wrapped in when shipped. I sprayed some of the strips with Tattered Angels glimmer mist before making the roses and sprayed some after, you can see this by the variation of color.I used May Art silk ribbon to twist around my roses.I also strung some glass beads from my stash on some thread and threaded it through out the ribbon.I used some say it in pearls bling by Prima through out my card. The frame is by Tattered Angels, I inked it with Distressed Ink by Ranger. PTI Sweet Blush is in the center of the frame,with the sentiment from Delightful Dahlia stamped in Ripe Avocado.The butterfly is punched with a EK Success punch.The filigree circles are from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!!
