This is my brother's favorite

He is a graphic designer (in school to become one actually) so his opinion means a great deal to me. This was from the Scraps of Darkness Steampunk kit (one of my personal fav's).

I just love this paper! I did a lot of cutting and framing on this one. I thought the paper was perfect for my nieces with their mardi gras masks.


Close up of flower arrangement in lower right corner... See the brown and rafia looking swirly things? Those are wire covered sticks I found in the flower department at JoAnns. I wrapped them around a skinny stick and then cut them and added them into the arrangement.

The flowers were all misted and stickled...

Close up of pearls. So to add some extra interest to my pearl swirls. I used one of those Tim Holtz alcohol ink pens with Alcohol Ink (pretty sure I used Espresso). Then I just colored over the pearls I wanted to change and voila.

Ever wonder what to do with those flat simple Primas to make them a little more fun and exciting? These are misted, distress inked, distress stickled, and regular stickled...
