Today’s challenge hostess is Heather Jensen. She is asking us to use the Dryer Sheet Technique on your project. I love the soft look it gives to the image.
I started by stamping an image from A Season of Celebration in Vintage Photo Distress Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut with Classic Oval Nestabilities dies and sponged with Tumbled Glass distress ink. A used Dryer Sheet was adhered over the image, cut to size and Glitter was added over it. The oval was stitched to a piece of Kraft cardstock that had been cut and embossed with the next size oval Nestabilities die and then adhered to white cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Beaded Oval Nestabilities die. A small Baby Bling Rhinestone was adhered between each of the beads.
A 2 1/3″ x 5″ piece of MME Lost & Found Portobello Road Paper was adhered 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of the same paper pack. The layers were stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of cardstock. A 5″ wide strip of was cut and embossed with a Lace Doily Accent die and it was adhered under the horizontal strip. White May Arts Ribbon was tied around the horizontal strips. The bow was topped with a button that was tied on with embroidery floss. The layers were adhered to the card base, a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Kraft cardstock, folded in half.
A piece of white cardstock was cut and embossed with the smallest Petite Oval Nestabilities dies. A sentiment from the same set was stamped on the oval and the inner part was sponged with Tumbled Glass. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone swirl was adhered over the bow and small part on the lower right, right under the sentiment panel.

This is so gorgeous, Beate! That drier sheet looks all snowy, but warm & cozy with the fuzziness too. The glitter is super clever.
Beate, I had so much fun doing this challenge. Thank you so much for tutorial and your card is lovely.
I had totally forgotten about this technique. It’s one that I used years ago when I first started to stamp. Thanks for the inspiration to bring out the used dryer sheets and get creative with them again. As ever , you card is perfect, right down to every detail.
