For today's WTUI challenge Michelle is asking us to Go Non-Traditional by using something other than paper on our cards, like cork. Having used cork for my sample, and being on a day off today, I thought I'd play around with burlap since I recently bought half a yard of it.
I stuck it to some double-sided adhesive, and painted with white acrylic where I wanted to stamp my image.
Down the left side I used a remaining scrap from my Serendipity Squares, TLC. attaching it with little metallic brads. Round the edges I rubbed some copper Treasure Wax and sprinkled a bit of gold EP over that while it was still sticky. Since the Serendipity strip wasn't a colour that would work with my favourite red for poppies, I had to go orange! I stamped the image with StazOn on the burlap, and coloured it with Sharpies and H2Os, with a hint of Stickles in the centre of the larger flower.
I added a Dymo sentiment and a button with twine, and then found a little bee from K&Co to add to finish it off.

I recognized the Serendipity Squares right away, because mine were such a dismal failure even though I looked at your tutorial over and over. The scrap looks really neat with the burlap, and it really was very clever to lay down some paint as a base for your stamp. Love the bee in the corner!
