It can be distressed, painted, waxed, embroidered, or even use any of the background card-making techniques we have learned. Angel hair would work fine as also the fine polyester gilt fabrics. The list is endless. Problem is, where to start!! Colleen, as far as treating the fabric or paper, anything goes.

Do you need to distress the fabric if you have many different textures or does it not look quite as effective as using encaustic wax, wax crayons etc.? I think you could use angel hair in this also and at the moment it is easy to stock up on different colours in the post Xmas sales. I nearly bought some bright Christmas red the other day and talked myself out of it and now will go back and see if I can get some! I have stacks of gold, silver and sapphire blue/green shades. My new sewing machine might be sewing experimentation pieces instead of garments yet but I did buy the machine with craft in mind and would also like to do crazy patchwork so time is the problem to do all.

I saw a tutorial on altering an old book, removing some pages to create space and reusing the pages to hold instructions and samples etc!

What a cool, fun idea this is. Thanks so much for showing how it is done--it's one for the "someday" file! Maybe, in the middle of a winter blizzard, I'll try this one. ;) I love this technique!
