I watercoloured my image and then used the cracked glass technique on it (tutorial on my sidebar). I went to town on the papers, ripping the edges and inking them up. I distressed my flowers and spritzed them with glimmer mist and added some raffia.
Finally I stamped a scroll in each corner using dusty concorde ink and then brushed green patina perfect pearls over it, spritzed it with water and dried it - sadly the photo doesn't do justice to the shine. (I have a tutorial on this technique - its on my sidebar)
I used the sketch from Trully Scrumptious - it is upside down as I cut my papers without thinking!Hopefully it will be less wet today so I can get the children out and running about.
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Girl and Birdhouse
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: I wish I knew!!
Embellishments: flowers, lace from stash
