We used the Faux Suede technique to break up the fibers and create suede texture layers (i.e. crimper). Wanted to clarify that! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377391193585110808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-20969534127172329762013-04-08T08:38:54.461-05:002013-04-08T08:38:54.461-05:00Hey, Lydia!

The original you linked to was made by Dawn Olchefske (as you know!). She is my upline and we made this in a class. To get the flower fluffier, here is what we did: punched a few scallop circles, ran them thru the crimper SEVERAL times in different directions until we could actually peel the paper layers apart. Then scrunch them up real good, fasten in the middle with a brad, and fluff them up. Pretty easy! Thought you'd like to know. :) Have a good one. And thanks for ALL your awesome posts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377391193585110808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-13524908649594342512012-03-31T12:47:48.966-05:002012-03-31T12:47:48.966-05:00When I visit your lovely state, I order PLAIN No S...When I visit your lovely state, I order PLAIN No Sugar Tea. :) The whole "unsweet" thing tends to lead to blecky things. :) Great card!! <br /><br />jennikJennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031113179177834109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-67599980465407529152012-03-28T15:42:06.060-05:002012-03-28T15:42:06.060-05:00Anonymous, get a life and a new attitude!!!!!!

If you want it with sugar then say a SWEET ICED TEA! Duh!!!!! Incidentally, I drink my tea WITHOUT sugar also no matter what part of the country that I drink it in!!!!!! oh, yeah, you posted a card....lol. Love it!!!!! Gorgeous! Did you trim down that lattice after you ran it through the bigshot? Looks cool that way!<br /><br />Miss you lady, Hugs, LisaLisa Athahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025051741079424462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-59631210822587478032012-03-28T07:22:20.018-05:002012-03-28T07:22:20.018-05:00Dude.

Reminds me of when I moved to CA in the 70's (eek - that long ago?) and tried to say "I'd like a cheeseburger" - never thinking I'd get at California cheeseburger with all the gunk on it - like mayo,tomato, lettace, ketchup etc. No one understood that I "meanitwhenIsay" plain - meat, cheese and bun! Now I have to say PLAIN even back in MN.

Boil me some water, throw some tea bags in it and then pour over a whole glass of ice.

Great contrast.<br /><br />I think you need to come visit the Maritime provinces. We don't mess with tea. It's brewed strong, can have milk but sugar is a no-no. It's workers tea and a great pick-me-up. <br /><br />Hope you have a great un-sweetened week! :DAuntie Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395086888097356747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-56988013229860470532012-03-25T15:20:01.811-05:002012-03-25T15:20:01.811-05:00You mean if you order tea it comes sweet!!
