I bought one of those paper corregator gadgets and just crimped a brown paper bag and cut out the shed shape from it.
The frog card uses a wooden frog bought from Hobbycraft pre painted and costing 49p all I had to do was build a background!Pucker up and kiss it Whoville! - The Grinch:kiss:0 -
Hiya
I have used tissue paper quite often in card making.
For a good effect wet a cotton bud and run it down where you want to tear the paper, tears a lot easier and looks good when dry.
Couldn't find the pics of the layered ones I've done but here are a couple: the one on the right has tissue paper behind the butterfly.
In this second one it is very similar to ones I have done using tissue paper.
It looks very effective cos you can scrunch it up and dust it with glitter before putting it in the mini envelope.
Good luck!I'm a Nanny again! 23rd April 2012

I originally bought them from Lorimers then scanned them in and used the template to cut out from different textured card on my CraftRobo.
I love my craftrobo, by no means have I used it to its full potential, but it is brilliant.
Here is the first card I did with it, a friends anniversary and she wanted one for her hubby and he lives and breathes Forest! lol
