FTU Scrapkit - Tortures of the Damned

I finally finished it! It was my first time, so forgive me if it isn't any good. I think I may just make another one in the future once I get the hang of kit making.

Inspired by the movie A Clockwork Orange and a tube by Ed Mironiuk!


Download here!
Enjoy!

Here is a tag I made with the kit! I recolored some of the papers, but I love how it turned out!
