Guess what...

... the background of my card is made of...



Actually, Jennibellie showed us the technique on her forum, and I had a try (just like I try all weird techniques I view !). You just want to take 4 or 5 kitchen roll used sheets, glue 2 of them together, then another one on top of it and one or 2 again. The glue must completely wet the towels, thus you either want to use your home-made glue (with rice or flour), or add the same volume of water to your glue and mix.
Once dry, here are your sheets, all different and unique :

Now you want to stamp on the sheets :
Handstamped

 outlined with white pen to highlight the stamped images

And then I stamped the
Grungy Greetings #1 
on to a watercolor paper


 And Grungy Greetings #1   on to school book pages I glued on the inside of the card for the sender to write down some sentiment !
Please let me know whether this technique did interest you, I am looking forward to reading from you ! And don't forget to participate in the Artistic Stamper monthly challenge... talking about memories !
See you !

    I must remember to keep paper towel moppers! This looks a lot of fun & I live to recycle by leftovers :-)
