Tattered floral & Isabelline

Hello... I wasn't really meaning to blog this card today, but I haven't quite got round to taking photos of anything else... oops!

This is a bit different for me, because I DO NOT TEAR PAPER!!!  I saw a similar card in a magazine though, and just couldn't resist having a go.


Items Used
Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die
Digi papers - Isabelline - Pink Petticoat
(printed on linen card from Papermill Direct)
Sparkle & Shine (sprayed on the flower) - Crafter's Companion
Large pearl - Bo Bunny Isabella Jewels - MCH
Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap

I'm entering my card for the Tattered Floral challenge on Tim Holtz's blog.

**Enter my candy here**

I'm having a very happy, if busy, week in my craft room - just struggling a bit to fit in blogging... Oh, and I had all my hair cut off too, which always cheers me up... I've now got a very short bob, and I dyed it red too :o)  Just what I needed after all these nasty bugs, which are hopefully going to leave us alone for a while now!

Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)

    Hi Lisa,
    What a great effect those papers have when they're torn like that - they look fab with the yellow flower too. Have a lovely evening, Big Hugs, Teresa xxx

    I LOVE what you've created here, Lisa! The torn paper gives this card such a FABULOUS look!
    Cutting your hair and changing the color it's such a nice, and easy, way to have a change in your life!

    Oooh love this one Lisa! Gorgeous flower and wonderful colour combo.

    I have to admit to not tearing paper very often at all! The urge does take me sometimes, but I try (and usually succeed) to ignore it!! Feels wrong, somehow, to go ripping up paper.

    Hope you have a good weekend - oooh and would love to see a pic of the new hair.

    Photo of new hair do required please! Glad to hear you are all starting to get over the rotten illnesses you've all had!
    This is stunning Lisa! I do tear paper, but it has to be an even type tear - I know it's the OCD in me but I can't just tear a piece without a ruler lol! Really gorgeous creation and well done for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone! Karen x

    Love your card honey, but I would need serious therapy if I was to try that tearing technique. I can't even rough up the edges. Have a fab weekend Lisa.
