For their first challenge
of 2012 the talented gals at Sugar Creek Hollow are asking us to Save Some Trees by making your project with some re-purposed paper... paper towels, toilet paper or coffee filters.
Yessss!!!
I told you here, that I was
partaking in the Creative Jump Start Summit 2012 and that Jump Start #2 with Carmen Sanchez` was making an ATC from toilet paper. Oh, happy day... now I can try this technique and enter my ATC in the SCH challenge. Here is my first attempt at toilet paper crafting...
I used nine sheets of
toilet paper for my card, wet it, folded it over once and gently squeezed out as much water as I could without damaging the flat shape. I then placed it into my Tim Holtz Alterations Postcard Texture Fade, wrapped some more TP around the folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug machine. When it was dry, I sprayed it with Tattered Leather Glimmer Mist and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls. (At this point you are suppose to heat emboss with UTEE, but I don't have any right now.) I then ran my Gathered Twigs Distress Ink pad over the edges and across the raised lettering.
I embellished with I Am
Roses mini roses and a skeleton leaf, two Prima Woodstock Bristo Blooms and some pearl sprays. The butterfly is a Bo Bunny Trinket.
Wish you could see the
glimmer on this card... my photos never seem to show off the shine.
Here I tried one more shot
with a different background... hope you fine this technique interesting and something you'll want to try.

OMGoodness, how fabulous! Who would think that such amazing paper creations could come from toilet paper? This is so cool, Linda! Creative and brilliant!
GORGEOUS! You are the queen of technique, my friend. Lovely :)
Linda, thanks so much for showing this technique and might I say...showed it off beautifully. Never would have guessed this is tissue paper, now I must give it a try. So much beautiful detail in a small package. So glad you could join us at Sugar Creek Hollow and share your beautiful project. Hope to see you again soon.

This is just gorgeous!! I've never heard of such a thing but I think I need to try it out. It looks so cool, almost like old, warped cardboard that's been sitting in a box in your grandmother's basement.
