The theme for the 9ATC Group is Torn and Ripped. I found a variety of previously inked/painted papers and ripped them into thin strips.

I found some textured blue card stock that I had previously streaked with silver and white paint. Then inked a dotted background stamp with bright pink Distress Paint and let it dry.

Then stamped a word background stamp with blue dye ink to complete the background.
I further tore the above papers to create a flower image over the background.
