Kool Kitty Musings: 2018 card challenge

Disclaimer

About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

2018 card challenge - May prompt

Morning all!

It's hard to believe, but we've entered a brand new month so it's time for a new prompt for this year's card challenge.

This month we're focussing on all things texture!

I am sure we all have lots of embossing folders or texture plates in our collections, but texture comes in many forms that you can explore:

Heat embossing provides a lovely raised texture and can also be used in resist techniques with water colours and inks
Cardstock can come ready embossed - I know I have quite a few Swiss dot sheets of Bazzill hanging about from back in the day! Even watercolour cardstock can add just the right amount of texture to your project.
Real stitching, whether by hand or machine, adds a lovely finishing touch to any project or could be the main focus of your card
Stencils and texture paste can be a great way to introduce patterns and mixed media effects
Fabric, felt, lace, and jute can be the perfect contrast to smooth paper and card

There are lots of options to choose from and I'm sure there will be some that haven't even entered my head!

Happy crafting!
