Not meant for crafting...

Good morning!  Are you ready for a new challenge at Charisma Cardz?  This time our theme is to Use something that is not meant for crafting.  I had a bit of difficulty with this one....I thought everything was meant for crafting!  lol.  Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT is sharing, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.


My card today uses the image...Dishcloth Dave, available from Dr Digi, one of our sponsors.  He's been coloured with copics, then cut out using the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Three die and the 'out of the box technique'.  Liquid applique adds some dimension to the soap suds, and I added a bit more to the sentiment.

Searching for that little something for our theme, I found some packaging string.  After untwisting, I tucked it in behind the top layers and fastened with staples.  This layer is attached with foam tabs, which gives added dimension plus allows for the extra thickness of the string.  The scraggy bits of string give a bit of a look of a scrub brush.

So onto our sponsors.  This week we have three, with some lovely prizes.
