Materials:

Plaid Podgeable Papers
Plaid Mod Podge
Plaid Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
Embossing Folder
Duck Tape
Fabric Markers
Tags
Paint
Washi Masking Tape
Elmer's ProBond Glue
Shimmer Sheet
Rub-ons
Canvas

Instructions:

Cover the canvas with ripped pieces of Podgeable Papers and adhere with Mod Podge. Once done, paint the whole surface with a layer of Mod Podge.
Once dry, rub a few colors of paint randomly all over the canvas.
Remove ribbon from the tags and set aside. Place tags inside an embossing folder and run through an embossing machine. Rub paint onto the raised surface of the embossed tags.
Use a fabric marker to color the edges of the tags. Also with a fabric marker, color the ribbons. It helps to lightly spray the ribbons with water.
Cut the shimmer sheets into small squares with 9 gems each. Some will be used as flower middles while others will be flowers.
Turn and twist some Duck Tape while wrapping it in a circular motion to create rolled flowers.
Add some texture to the canvas with stamps and rub-ons.
Add some cut out element from the Podgeable Papers and adhere them to the canvas with Mod Podge.
Adhere all the piece to the canvas. For the gem flowers, add a different color of gems all around the square.
Use Washi Masking tape and rub-ons to create some stems. Add desired title with Mod Podge.
