Playing again!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have all survived the latest snow storm.  I know many of you are ready for winter to be over.  I bet many of you are sick of shoveling also.

My card today is one I made while I was playing with a new item.  About a year ago I was watching UStream broadcast and the lady mentioned she was using buckram.  For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a stiff fabric used in sewing to add stiffness and help it hold it’s shape.  I went out and bought some and never used it.  I was looking through my Take Ten magazine and one of the spreads had used a fabric to make a series of cards.  I decided to pull out my buckram and try it.

I cut a larger piece than I needed and then used my spritzers to color it with Pool Party and Marina Mist.  After I let it dry I stamped it and then added some Dazzling Details.  I also pulled out some of my gauze from my medicine cabinet and colored it with Crumb Cake.  I added it to mimic netting.  Here is my final card.

Have you ever played with different materials?  I would love to hear what you used so I could try it also.

Thanks for visiting me today.  I hope my card inspired you to try something new.  Have a Sensational Sunday!
