Default fibers on cards and scrapbook pages

I am a spinner of wool. I blend my roving and spin it into fiber with a spinning wheel. I can make the fiber thick or thin, and add all sorts of funky things to it. I have a LOT of colored roving and wool . I would like some ideas for techniques to use my fiber on cards and scrapbooks . Any suggestions? I can also blend fibers to match my cardstock and/or inks. I can add glitz to the fibers too.

it has been awhile since i've seen fibers attached to cards. I've seen it stapled on one end, stretched across and stapled or glue dotted on or glue dotted on from end to end. There are also loopy brads you can wrap the fiber around that and stretch it across your project and adhere or brad to tie at the other end. HTH.

I had store bought fibers on a recent card I made with a acrylic squash technique. The fiber had lots of little threads in it and if that one didn't I have others that have sequins threaded through them that is similar... It's posted on my blog.
