paper clips/coffee filter/tissue paper flower/waxed paper or in my case used tea bags(which I saved last Summer and just found in the clearance lol)lol.
I stamped on the teabags with Beautanicals Teasel stamp(another neglected stamp) and also on the background,stamped sentiment was a craft mag freebie.
The background was made using a technique from Tracy Evans-you score the card every inch and use your bone folder then starting at the top drag a Distress ink pad in brown lightly down the card-turn around and do it the other way I also inked in green too -a perfect fence!!!
