As I was blog hopping I found this fab idea (but I can't remember where I saw it, so if it was you, please let me know and I'll acknowledge you - sorry!!). Cover a piece of vellum in various colours of distress stain. Above I used broken china, weathered wood, faded jeans and dusty concord. Spritz with water and blot off with kitchen roll. Scrunch up and carefully unfold a few times and then punch or die cut shapes. I did snowflakes in preparation for next years holiday photos!!!!
For this piece of vellum I used fired brick, wild honey, forest moss, peeled paint and dusty concord. Again I spritzed and scrunched and die cut some flower shapes and leaves. Haven't decided what to do with them yet, just arranged them as above for the photo.
Ohhhhh arrrrr so those were the snowflakes dreaming of powder?
