I had to think long and hard on this one. I found a bit of fabric ( I am not a sewer but had this little piece left over from a Guide project) and decided to glue it to some light cardboard and run it through the cuttlebug to see if it would cut. Low and behold it cut quite nicely. Now what? Use it as an animal print or try to do something Asian. I always admire Asian influenced cards but have never tried one before, well today was the day. I did use a piece of designer paper from the wonderful Far East Stack from DCWV that my daughter had given me as a gift. Unfortunately my picture taking skill are quite lacking and I couldn't seem to get a good picture that reflects the true beauty of the paper. I don't think I really achieved an Asian feel but do kind of like the card anyway.
