One simple item keeps showing up in my designs these days. I simply can’t see to help myself. In fact, many times I actually have to restrain myself from using it to keep things all looking the same.
What is it?
Twine.
Simple huh? I don’t know why it holds such a fascination. Perhaps it’s the texture and it does go with pretty much anything. It’s super easy to tie. It’s plain and not overwhelming.
I just love it.
Wouldn’t using twine make for a fun challenge? I hope you think so. It’s Thursday so check out the challenge here.
The other day I needed a sympathy card. I love a soft natural look for them so out came the twine, the kraft cardstock and some fun canvas.
The canvas is from Prima and comes printed with a lovely fine text. I stamped and embossed a beautiful damask Hero Arts stamp onto the canvas to make a resist. The background was then spritzed with Glimmer Mist and after dry, stamped with some Hero Arts leaves.
Quick Tip: Ranger Archival inks work really well for stamping on fabric. Stamp and then heat set when done.
