This week I just wanted to enjoy the creative process, no set plan in my mind. I had the Crafter's Workshop Mini Whimsical Vines Template on my desk and decided to just play for the fun of it!
I had some tissue left over from some packaging and decided I would incorporate this into my artwork. I cut a piece of card 5" x 7".
Apply Multi Matt Medium to the white card.
Crumple the tissue and then add to the adhesive and press down to ensure good contact.
Once the adhesive is dry apply Broken China Distress Ink around the card.
Place the Whimsical Vines Template onto the surface and apply White Embossing Paste over the Template and then remove and set aside to dry. Add a second Vine to the design.
I love the fantastic texture the Embossing Paste adds to any design.
Add a small amount of Sky Fresco Finish Paint to a Non-Stick Craft Sheet. Place the mask back over the embossed design.
Apply the Sky paint through the stencil onto the Embossing Paste using Cut 'n' Dry Foam.
Apply a tiny amount of Inky Pool Fresco Finish Paint to the Cut 'n' Dry Foam.
Add touches of the Inky Pool paint to the design to give definition. Repeat this process for the second Vine.
Apply Olive Bronze Treasure Gold Wax over the design to highlight the wonderful texture and dimension.
Add Olive Bronze Wax to the edges of the design to highlight the texture from the tissue paper.
Place the Classic Words stencil onto the design and apply Inky Pool paint over the 'FRAGILE' wording.
Remove the template and add FRAGILE wording once again around the edges of the card.
Die cut a Bitty Blossom from Core'dinations card.
Roll the flower to create the dimensional blossom and then apply Olive Bronze Treasure Gold Wax to the petals.
I love how the Olive Bronze Treasure Gold really highlights the wonderful texture and dimension in my design.
The tissue gives my card a real tactile feel.
The Bitty Blossom has been added to the top of my design.

My eyes catched a glimp of this at the SSS blog and that was it; I have been looking at it for three minutes! Sounds not long, but it is...It is stunning! Hope you don´t mind that I pinned it to let it inspire me later... Inky greetings, Gerrina
Lovely bluesy piece - the tissue texture is so fab, and I love the layered paint and gilding on the vines.

What a wonderful card! Thanks for the workshop.
wonderful texture! LOVE IT!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! And thank you for the fabulous detailed tutorial!

Tracy...your card is so pretty! I love the crinkled tissue in the background. That, backed on the dark teal is a great combination! I also love your embossed leaves and the way you've colored them with the Fresco Paints. So very pretty. The added touches of the Treasure Gold really adds alot of richness to the card! I also love your die cut bitty blossom. So pretty! As always, such a gorgeous card! <3 Candy

What a beauty! Love the tissue wrinkled background! And the touches of gold are perfect. Hugs, Sandra
Gorgeous piece Tracy! Love the effect f the tissue paper, together with the texture past and lovely subtle colours, it truly makes a piece of fragile beauty, really lovely!
It certainly is gorgeous with a background that appears as though it is shattered glass.
Really effective, really beautiful.
