Greetings!
What can you do with corrugated cardboard? - Lots of pretty things!
Check out all of the gorgeous projects the talented ~eclectic Paperie~ design team created with corrugated cardboard here! This is the canvas I created:
My canvas is 4"x12"x 1 1/2"deep. First I randomly rubbed "old paper", "pumice stone" & "frayed burlap" Tim Holtz Distress Stains all over the canvas. Then I took modeling paste on a spatula and scraped it all around, it picked up the Distress Stains, coloring itself as I moved it around.
After that was dry I randomly applied "old paper" Tim Holtz Distress crackle paint. I set that aside to dry while I assembled my flower.
I used a couple of different gauges of corrugated cardboard from packing boxes and a disposable cup cozie. On the flat piece of cardstock torn off one side of the cardboard I stamped the "She Script" stamp by Unity Stamp Company with Versa Mark Ink and heat embossed it with Zing black embossing powder. I used this for two of the leaves and one of the layers in the flower.
The corrugated pieces are distressed with "black soot" Tim Holtz Distress Ink. All of the components are free hand cut. I layered them up with a vintage doily which was stiffened with Aleen's fabric stiffener and a pretty crocheted & beaded flower from a local fabric shop.
The "e-Team Picks Challenge" to use corrugated cardstock/cardboard on your project runs through April 3rd. I hope you are inspired to create something and link it up here!

Teresa, this is amazing. I love the texture on the background. The layered flower is beautiful. Corrugated cardboard and the white crochet are a stunning combination...great contrast. I really like the stamped and embossed text on the leaves and flower. Very cool.
