Moonlight Flower Card


This card was made with a lot of distressing and embellishments. The flower stamp is an old one from Rubber Stampede. Underneath my handmade flower is a tulip design. The dotted circles around the polka dots on my background paper are from a clear inkadinkadoo stamp. The flying skull image is a digital stamp from Smeared Ink. The flower was distressed by crumpling and the background paper was torn and inked. To qualify for a challenge on Use it Tuesday, you had to use two hoarded supplies. I used some tan rick rack and black eyelash yarn that I have been saving.  The card is also embellished with a red bingo chip, black half pearls and glitter.

Top Tip Tuesday Tip: When tearing paper, if you lift and pull up the on paper you are tearing off, you will get a white edge.
