It also did TOP 3 at Sophisti-cat challenge blog- thanks!!
There is no ppaper in this lo, but this white paper (not even a cardstock) they put inside these album refills.
So I did some glue stamping and heat embossing, some masking with misting, some inking with distress ink and this brad circle with twine and I misted and border punched the matting piece too.This chipboard angel is the pin Tattered angel company gave for free at summer CHA- and it was perfect here- I just added some glitter glue on. The big flower on the left corner is free hand cut fabric one- all other are PRIMA, blings too.
2 things I discovered throwh this lo:
1. You don't nead this glimmer mist that costs a lot for misting!!

Buy some cheap spray bottles- I got mine from my dear friend YAPHIT G. from some beauty shop for 0.75$ one . Buy or find at home some die inks- I had these POSH inks for ages and never used them and find some Perfect peals or Pearl ex powder- any color works here but gold or paerled are better!!
Now put just 1-2 drops of the ink into the bottle ,add a bit of pearl powder and fill with water- that's it!! I have 12 mists for low cost and a lot of ink for more and more future use. Believe me- same results, they do it just the same for 8$ a bottle .I also tried some alcohol inks with pure alcohol- not the same touch, but looks ok too- just more expensive.
2. If you want to use resist heat emboss technique do it first on the white paper, I did it after misting and it is resist but not pure white color- also it's ok here.
3. Keep your eyes on your distressor tool- I lost mine and now can't do my edges but with some " home made" items- not the same- need to buy a new one fast.
And now for other challenges:
