Coffee Filter Play

The weather was triple digits today so I hid in my sewing and craft room. I got a newsletter from Splitcoaststampers which had an interesting article about creating prints using coffee filters. In the article they suggested using the coffee filter as well as the prints. I had fun playing with coffee filters. color powders and glossy photo paper.

Here is the card I created with one of the coffee filters as the background. After all I'm the Queen of frugal wasting nothing.

After sewing the coffee filter on one side on the card base and adhering the other three sides down I adhered strips of designer paper. on the top and bottom. I printed out my image which was one time available as a Dover free sample on my inkjet printer. After cutting it out I applied paste wax over the image to make sure the ink would not smear. Then I buffed the image with a paper towel and then rubbed Distress Antique Linen over it to soften it and give it more of a vintage look.

Thank you for visiting. Do come back later as I will have more projects to share. Especially since I'm finding my crafting supplies.

Wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting till we meet again!
