Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #13


Wowzer! it's week #13 already
so turn your
 Compendium of Curiosities
to page 65 for the Grungepaper Flower technique
since I used a repeat vintage image I wanted to bring
in different texture & finishes so I used Rock Candy Stickles
on the small Geisha, Rock Candy Distress paint on the middle one
and I used a texture fade embossing folder on the tag itself.
I also used the RC Stickles on the flowers & I've also got some
embossed metal flowers in there too
Be sure to hop on over to Linda's blog StudioL3 if you'd
like to join the weekly challenges & to see all the great art being done
