Paper tearing
can give a great look to your pages and it is very easy.
Take your paper and hold it with your hands close together. Start tearing with your dominant hand (the hand you write with). The hand holding the paper will be your end result. The tear always come out on your holding hand. The closer you hold your hands together the more control you will have and the smaller the tear. Hold your hands farther apart and you will have less control but a more dramatic tear.
Use some scrap paper and give it a try! Try tearing with different weights and types of paper to see the different results.
To make the flowers: tear small circles of vellum about 1 1/2 inches diameter. Take your torn circle and wrap it around the end of a pencil on the eraser end. Crinkle it all around the eraser. Unwrap and paint the edges using rub on paints or chalks. I think the paints stick to the vellum better though. Mount your flowers on a torn border with eyelets.
