I am excited to report that canvas embossed on SU Glossy CS makes a wonderful metal mesh! Rubbed with Cameo Coral reinker juice to make extra coppery. Aquaria stamp in Polymer clay baked on crumpled foil for shape. There are microbeads,fiber, beads and wire,too - But it's the metal mesh using canvas stamp I think you will like the best.

This is one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen! I love the combination of textures - the mesh, the polymer clay, the fiber....just everything! A work of art!

Thank you! I really am excited about a way to make custom colored metallic mesh. Won't silver be great for a bug sitting on a screen? SU really has a major hit with this background stamp - so many ways to use it. I also like it when paired with other background type stamps.

Excellent card -- and I particularly love how you called it "reinker juice"!!! Great use of the canvas stamp. I can't wait until it arrives . . . in 3 days!
