I created this brooch for the I {Heart} Papers Design Team December Challenge. I started with a base of grunge paper cut in a circle. You could use chipboard, but the grungeboard is more flexible and I wanted the pin to move with the wearer, not feel like a hindrance. I painted the grunge board with gold acrylic paint and let it dry before adding the layers of Magnolia and Berry picks as well as Velvet Holiday Leaves – Floral Embellishments both made by Petaloo
