My paper comes from a vintage themed pad called - ????? No idea 'cos I lost the front cover but it is full of scripts/roses/newspaper print/old franking machines and ink and pencils!
I used one of the lighter coloured and less fussy sheets for this make.
The newspaper print, pencils and word 'Perfect' is actually part of the sheet and I just stamped the other words round it after heat embossing in white through this pretty corner stencil.
I dabbed a little bit more embossing powder round the edge before matting onto grey card.
Finished with a couple of scored lines and a bit of twine.

This looks beautifully distressed using this interesting piece of dp Viv, and adding the white embossed flowers to the corner, and an extra flower next to the sentiment works well. What a wonderful idea to add the three extra words to complement the one that was already printed on it too. x
