Bah! Humbug! Challenge --- Paper Tearing

I so love the ladies at Bah! Humbug!  Last week I referred to them as the "Trio of  Tinsel" and Max commented that she hoped that "it refers to how we sparkle rather than that you'd like to hang us up LOL!"  I'm sure it's a rhetorical question, but it most definitely is because Max, Ann and Irene sparkle!  They pick very creative guest designers, too.  Just hop over to Bah! Humbug! and see for yourself!

Every week I look forward to the new challenge because they come up with truly creative themes and techniques.  This week they have us tearing and ripping paper!  I love the look of torn papers and distressing, though too often I try too hard to make it a "perfect" tear, whatever that may be.  So, I gave myself an additional challenge:  to tear paper that has a mind of its own, such as mulberry or handmade paper.  I selected three sheets of papers handmade in Nepal.  They are actually part of a notepaper and envelope set I bought at Barnes and Noble book store.  It proved to be up to the challenge, giving me a truly random tear.  I layered the ivory, dark pink and light pink Nepal papers onto a card base of ivory card stock, also tearing the right edge.

The image, Christmas Fairy Holly, is from Mo Manning Digital Pencil. I had already colored her so finding the Nepal paper in my stash was, once again, a very lucky find! I used the Nesties Deckle Edge die to frame her. There is a piece of gold mulberry paper underneath the image. Prima flowers that are sprinkled with sugary glittery, a sentiment fromK & Co, and gold cord top it all off.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now, do yourself a favor and visit Bah! Humbug!  I promise you won't find Scrooge there, but you will find inspiration for the fast approaching holiday season!
