So, many of you may know about the dryer sheet technique. I love the idea of reusing things, but haven't really gotten to use it the way it's intended. This is my little spin on it. I wanted a background for this card. I wanted to use the same paper as I used on my flower but it just seemed too bright for me. I thought that using the paper in it's raw form as the background would take away from my lovely flower. So, what I did was use a dryer sheet.
I took a USED dryer sheet and sprayed it with spray adhesive. I stuck it to my background paper and trimmed it up a bit. Then I sprinkled glitter over the top of it. I kinda wish I would have made it bigger so you could see it better, but I still think it's really pretty.
My little twist is instead of making a fuzzy a glittery focal point, I made a more tame but still glittery (I LOVE glitter) background. I just love the softness that the dryer sheet adds. PLUS, I love reusing something that I would have thrown away.
Basic Recipe:
Paper: Bo Bunny Ella Collection, Yellow and White CS
