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
