I'm really pleased with how the mesh background on this piece turned out. I keep a dry 100% cotton waffle facecloth on my craft desk which I use for quick stamp clean ups. I suddenly thought today that the pattern would make a nice background, so I flattened it out, inked it up with distress ink and pressed my card onto it. brilliant.
I stamped over this with the paperartsy sewing pattern background, added an Inka collage image, some lace and a button, and a word from Paperartsy.
I have made this ATC for the Theme thursday's "people with Hats" theme and mixed media monday's "lace" theme
