Second String - Still a Winner

Photo Details

Poster: bubblestx4

I love that with this technique I can make 2 really cool cards in under 10 minutes!!!

Find the "how to"

Since I don't have a lot of strength in my hands, on this set of cards I placed a large dictionary over the phone book which resulted in much more even pressure for me!

Ah, I was going to say I pressed quite firmly. I haven't reached your first attempt yet, bit your second string is certainly up with the first violins! It looks like stiffened gauze or mesh, delicate and structured.

The books worked great! Your Red sentiment is the winner of these two for me! Both are great cards.
