This was quite a process and some of it by accident! I glued the netting down to my kraft paper with Multi-Medium, dried it, coated it with gesso, kind of dried it and then coated it with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide and misted it with Perfect Pearls. It looked like a mess. I had to go back to driving tractor helping DH with harvest. When I came back it had turned into this gorgeous color of aqua! Game on! I decided on poinsettias but what to make them from?! Dug in my stash and found this corrugated paper that came from a box of Cheryl's cookies- a gift from last Christmas! I die cut them, used my MISTI to stamp them, spritzed with more Perfect Pearls. The layers kind of separated so tons of texture!! I stamped the outlines and glued them down.

And this card just goes to show that some accidents turn out AMAZINGLY well! WOW! I need to go help a tractor man and come back and see what's on my crafting desk. J/K... that wouldn't work unless I did the prep work first.
Honestly, your card is stunning! I love it... and am so glad you went From Trash to Treasure with me!

Oh my goodness I love how this came out. It is fun when we craft and think something is just a mess then we let it sit and come back and find stunning results. Nicely done!
