Default It's so easy!!!!!

Just thought I would share that it's so easy make you own matching mesh background by using dry wall mesh (get it at home depot or other hardware store...probably walmart, I can't remember what exactly it's called). I colored mine using green galore dye ink, here's an example:

You can also mask off your canvas background stamp th whatever size you want and emboss it.

Adorable card! How did you color the mesh? I've tried this with little success. Did you affix it to wax paper first? Drag the pad across it? Help!

I can't wait to do this. First I have to go back to HD and take back the fiberglass mesh I mistakenly bought :shock:
You card looks great. I love the buttons.

edited to make sense.
