Happy Paper Towel Art

8/7/2019

9 Comments

 
Paper towel art?  Why not!  So excited for the challenge of trying something different in card making.

This paper towel background was the result of another card I made with paper towels (see below) that was used as a second layer over a smooshed layer.  Once the background was dry, I decided to stamp directly onto a paper towel and it worked like a charm!

​In the close up, you can see the paper towel texture and how crisp the stamping is.  TIP:  To create the border, cut a strip of cardstock and run adhesive (I used my ATG tape) over the surface.  Lay the paper towel (larger than the strip) over the adhesive and trim excess.

Here's the first card I made with paper towels that turned out really great.  Because it wasn't a CAS design, I couldn't use it for the challenge.

Hi Lyn! Great work with paper towels. LOVE your first card ... what an adorable underwater scene! Fantastic work!

Your CAS design is also amazing. I would never have thought of stamping overtop of the paper towel. So clever and creative! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

What a fun idea to stamp onto the paper towel, so unique and such a fabulous effect. Fabulous CAS card and also loving the wonderful fish card. Thank you for joining in the CAS Mix Up Challenge with your stunning card x.

Both of these cards are fantastic, Lyn! I love the colorful fish with that fantastic paper towel background! Stamping on the strip of paper towel mop up was a wonderful idea and turned out so crisp and pretty! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

Thanks Tammy! I'm heading back north soon so I may not be able to keep up the challenge activity as I can in Florida. It's been so much fun! So nice hearing from you too.

Great use of the leftover inky paper, the stamping works really well over the top.
Thanks for sharing at HLS. :0#
