There's still time to join in at CAS Mix Up
I'm still playing with my dear granddaughter's paper towels that
she used to mop up the Brusho and Lindy's Magical pieces.
Here's a picture of a similar paper towel as the one I used for this card.
See the flower in the middle?
It looked like a flower already on the paper towel, so I separated
the two ply and used liquid glut to adhere one to a piece of cardstock.
I used the same technique to do this as we used for tissue paper.
I actually die cut this piece which flattened most of the beautiful texture.
Next time I'll use the scissors!
I added a frame and sentiment and strung a few
gold beads to adorn my flower.
What kind of fun are you having with paper towel art this month?
Our Design Team and Guest Designer Betty have had lots of fun.
Check out their samples and hope to see yours at CAS Mix Up.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful and artsy paper towel flower Bonnie!! LOVE the deep colours from the saturation. The gold adornments really make it something special. I bet Emmie is happy you used some of her mop-up towels on your cards. :) xx
ReplyDeleteI must admit that this card intrigued me. I spotted all of the gorgeous detail in this unique piece and looked forward to read the "how to"... The blue sentiment and frame bring this bloom forward and the beads, well what can I say PERFECT!!! I adore this card Bonnie xx
ReplyDeleteSo artsy, unique and striking Bonnie x Great to use Emmie's mop up towel too ....love it x.
ReplyDeleteI need Emmy to visit me and make a piece of mop-up towel for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful and artsy flower card, Bonnie! You used a great section of the paper towel piece. I love the colors and the shape of the flower.
The gold cord and beads are the perfect embellishment!
