Using unexpected supplies

Hello crafters!

Today I have a tutorial posted on 

Mashed Potatoes and Crafts

that will tell you how I made these backgrounds 

with an unexpected supply.
Can you guess what I used to make these stripes?

I made 4 different backgrounds,

I'm sure you can guess which one was the first one

I made.

 I'm glad I didn't stop

after the first one, because even though I wasn't 

crazy about that one,

I do like the way the other 3 turned out.

Here is what I did with the 3 that I liked.

I liked the orange and brown together and thought

the twine was a perfect accent with the colors.

I cut the blue and red piece into 3 panels and 

used foam tape to adhere them to the card front.

I added a few sequins for a little extra interest.

This card is very simple, but I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll check out my tutorial on

Mashed Potatoes and Crafts

to learn how I made these backgrounds.

And I hope you'll be inspired to use

some unexpected supplies when you are crafting.

Hope to see you again soon!
