This is for today's Ways to Use it Challenge to use tissue paper. I've never made the tissue paper flowers before and I really like the results. Mine was made using the Birds and Blooms dies and Pacific Point and water mixed in a mister and spritzed on the flower. The background is made by inking the negative side of the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder with Soft Suede ink before placing the Very Vanilla card stock in it and running it through the Big Shot. The Daisies were inked in Tempting Turquoise then stamped off, then thumped with a Pacific Point marker before stamping on Very Vanilla card stock. After cutting the oval I then sponged the edges with Tempting Turquoise. I distressed the edges of the background papers and sponged the textured piece with Soft Suede on the torn edges.

Lovely match of tissue flower with your image - and I really like the torn embossed layer. I find it hard not to just cut straight lines, I wish I was more comfortable with tearing.
