Accordion Flower & Ribbon Technique

What do you do with old pattern paper that you have sitting around that you don't care for? You smooch it! I made this little accordion flower out of a strip of baby blue & white patterned paper that I wasn't fond of. First I used a little distress ink on it, then I stamped it with SU's baroque motif's swirls with distress ink, and then I sprayed it with spun sugar smooch spritz. I ended up with a vintage strip that I tried out Leica's accordion flower technique on (http://10-4livingoutloud.typepad.com/leica_forrest/2010/05/accordion-flowers-step-by-step.html). And then I played with Nadine's accordion ribbon technique from last weekend too (http://delitetechniques.blogspot.com/2010/05/accordion-ribbon.html) :)
