Yo Ho, Yo Ho!

Melanie would like us to add texture to our cards for the High Hopes Challenge this week. I love Oberto... I always go back to the cute pirates at some stage or another because they always look so good coloured! My problem is though that I don't experiment with the colours much. I pretty much do them the same every time!

This week I used On Guard Oberto and Treasure Map and I created texture by ripping the edges of the map and curling them up and adding a bit of Crate Paper pattern paper behind which has a nice little texture to it. I put some netting behind Oberto and I did the Yo Ho, Yo Ho with one of those old label makers. Matt found mine the other day when he was looking for.... something.... in my craft room and he was surprised they still exist. I told him to keep it out on the off chance I find a use for it and LOOK! I did find a use!

So what are you waiting for! Get creative with texture and head over to the HH Blog to link your card for the chance to win some free rubber stamps!
