Tattered Floral Challenge

When I saw this challenge I knew immediately that I wanted to create a floral bouquet. I used pieces of patterned fabric, canvas and cardboard as the basis for each flower. I then applied various products from sprays to glitter to create a distressed look. I used large brads to secure all the pieces and then wired each flower to twigs that I cut from lilacs growing in my front yard.

Technique #6 - Embossed Embossing

This month's technique involves embossing cardstock that has been textured with an embossing folder.  A brayer was used to apply the versmark to the raised areas of the textured pattern.  If you don't have a brayer you can carefully swipe the versamark over the raised areas before applying the clear embossing powder.
