Add some embroidery to your page..
I started with this page, I had already spritzed it with inks, so I just carried on and built up the layers with stamping. I used more of my homemade stamps. I am quite liking using them now, shame they have been sat in a drawer for so long lol
Then to add some embroidery... in front of where I work is a large pin board, with all sorts hanging on it. One of the random things was a sample tassel, made over 10yrs ago. It had these machine embroidered shapes on it. I took it down and stripped them off the tassel body.
They are piece of pelmet vilene, dyed and then embroidered and bits of fabric and ribbons attached.
I tore out some scraps of painted paper, and mounted the vilene pieces onto the paper.
I added some grunge paste tot he background and coloured this with Treasure Gold. I then glued in the embroidered patches, and finally stamped around them using white paint.
Some close ups of the embroidery and the texture of the grunge paste..
