Tissue Paper Flowers

The other day a package arrived in the mail with some lovely white tissue paper in it. It was wrapped around some scrapbooking supplies and my mind started to whirl. I just knew it could be reused for something crafty instead of throwing it away.

After taking it down to my craft room, I decided to try die cutting it with my ultra favorite die, the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die by Sizzix. Love, love, love this die. Judging by the amount of projects I’ve used it on, I’m sure you’re getting that idea. I’m quite tickled with how it turned out.

What do you do with tissue paper? There are a lot of cool ideas and stamping techniques. Today’s challenge is Ways to Use Tissue Paper and I hope you’ll join us for some creative fun.  Check out the challenge details here.

While this card is simple, it uses lots of my favorite things. The beautiful crystals and pearl brad are from Zva Creative and the gorgeous background stamps from Hero Arts. To highlight the curve of the crystal flourish, I bent my sentiment stamp before applying to the acrylic block.

Supplies: white cardstock by Bazzill, crystal flourish CRS02CB107 and pearl brad BRBK02CA103 by Zva Creative, tissue paper, Leaf Trinket Pins by Maya Road, twine, Woodgrain Pattern, Friend Defintion Cling stamp & Everyday Sayings Clear Stamp set by Hero Arts, Tattered Florals Die by Sizzix, Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels.

Happy creating!
