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!

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!

Did you buy the frames round the flowers on your cards precut as I love the curvy shaped frames

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
