Yes, you heard me correctly... check this out!
I bought a roll of Mudless Drywall Tape at a yard sale last summer.
Cost: 25 cents
Now, what to do with it???Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....
I cut a piece of it a little larger than my card front and took the backing paper off of it. This left a slightly sticky surface, which I then stuck onto the cardstock.
I sponged Stampin' UP! Early Espresso ink onto it, making sure to get into the circles and along both edges of the strip.
I wanted to use lots of textures and somewhat rugged elements to my card, so I took a piece of cardboard (yes, a cardboard box) and tore it into a wonky shape. I pulled the backing off to reveal the corrugated look and then glued this onto the card front.
Other textures on the card include grosgrain ribbon and corduroy buttons.
