Playing with Fibers

The last hurrah of summer is upon us! I hope you all enjoy your long Labor Day weekend. I just know I'm excited it's COLLEGE FOOTBALL season, U.S. OPEN time, and AUTUMN is on its way! And since it's Friday it's also Friends with Flair day at Unity!

I spent some time playing with something different today... fiber paper. There is a fun 6x6 stack called "Fiber Natural" from DCWV (there might be a giveaway below!). It is really great with my spray inks... the colors just soak right in to the paper immediately. You can see every single little spritz drop on this paper, it's great.


These were so easy to make. I used my 1" circle punch to get all these circles from the Fiber paper. Then I used Dylusions spray ink in "Vibrant Turquoise" and "Crushed Grape". Layer one smaller circle over a larger circle and connect them with a brad. Done-zo! I squished up all the edges to make them a little more dimensional.


Now these little flowers are going to be the star of a card...


The two solid panels are also with the Fiber Natural paper. The larger one is sprayed once with turquoise spray ink. Love how it soaks in and stays so vibrant! I stamped a sweet sentiment from Unity Stamp Co "Could you be any cuter?" set.



Wanna play with the Fiber Natural stack for yourself?! I'm giving away one stack to one lucky commenter!
