Got me a new toy this week - a crimper! So of course I had to do some experimenting! The crimper is used in two ways on this card. For the background, I folded in the four corners, then ran it through the crimper folded. When I unfolded it, my crimped lines were going in opposite directions. To create the flower, I took a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and ran it through the crimper multiple times and in multiple directions. This distresses and breaks down the fibers in the cardstock and allows you to separate the cardstock into two strips with a soft texture. I then spiraled the strips up on a punched out circle and added a knot of ribbon in the center with a glue dot. So much fun!
