Found Paper
The current challenge at A Day For Daisies is to use found paper, not paper from your stash. I used some tissue paper that was in a Christmas gift. I crumpled it more than it was and sprayed it with Art Co. glitter spray in gold and copper. I heat set it so it would dry quickly. It looks a little bit purple in person (less pink than the picture) so I backed the image with some purple vellum. The flower was made from a scrap of the tissue as well. To place the image, I twisted the tissue paper and taped the image to it. The tissue flattened a little in the photography process, but it would in an envelope so I just left it. I colored the image with Promarkers (blush, tan, ivory, sandstone, baby pink, lemon, ice grey 1). The background was embossed with a Darice embossing folder (swirls I think). I like the size of them, but it didn't leave quite as deep an emboss as some of the other folders I've used. The sentiment is from the "Fashionable Friends" K Andrew designs stamp set. The ink used for the sentiment and around the image is Distress Ink.

Great idea to use the tissue paper Lynn, especially with the fun colored spray. It makes a great background mat for your sweetly colored image. Thanks so much for playing along with the ADFD challenge!
