Scraps to Treasure

A shiny sheet of silver paper intrigued me. I ran it through my Cuttlebug but the impression was not very deep so I rummaged through my scrap bin for tissue paper and also found the inside liner from an old envelope -- with a most beautiful green toile pattern.


Using Mod Podge I adhered torn pieces of the papers to the silver shiny paper, leaving slight gaps here and there. 
Adding a lovely vintage lady decoupage piece and flower basket, and a rub-on flourish in the top corner, I now have a topper for an altered book cover, greeting card, or addition to a mixed media creation.

You can see hints of silver shining through!

Look at the effect of printing it in black & white! Love it!
