Cherish Forever . . .

Michelle's November Challenge at Scrapbook Heaven is to get your "Grunge On". This is not a style I normally do so it was definitely a challenge for me, and it kind of looks more like a controlled distressing.

I distressed, using scissors, all the edges of the paper except for the photo mat and lattice. I was going to do the lattice but I had it all glued together when I realized I had not done it. The red cardstock is also embossed and then torn.

The chipboard letters were embossed with clear embossing powder using an embossing pen. I stamped in black "forever" and used clear embossing powder, attached rhinestones and used the ticket corner punch on them.

The leaves were hand cut from a 12x12 paper. The prima flowers were painted, inked and sprayed then layered and the silk flowers were taken apart and inked and misted them put back together.

Thanks for stopping by.
