It has some pages in black and white for you to colour, some that are too beautiful to tamper with and some, like the one I picked for this project, offer a base to start from and avoid the blank canvas panic!
The paper is sturdier than tissue paper, and I collaged it on a spare piece of card.

Next I created a stencil with A Tim Holtz Mixed Media die from a piece of yupo paper, this paper die-cuts very well and can be wiped clean to re-use again and again.
With the stencil I applied texture paste and then Distress Oxides, which the acrylic paint resists.

Finally I added an embellishment made from a stamped and die-cut tag.

You have jazzed up the DP beautifully with the honetyomb pattern and it really picks out the colour of the lovely Roses.
