My coolest card ever!!!

This has got to be the coolest card I've ever made! Sure, I make a lot of "pretty" cards, but this one is funky and cool. I love it! It is much better in real life because there's a lot of dimension with the floss and thickers lettering.

This is a mini card with the Kraft base measuring 3.5" x 3.5". I used SU's mat pack with the piercing template to perfectly line up the brads. I pierced the holes first and then inserted the brads. Then, I zigzagged the floss between the brads. I slid a piece of white card stock under the floss for some added interest and to see the letters better. The word "love" comes from the Everyday Button Bits set. The sentiment is "all things grow with love" and I only inked the word "love". And then I adhered the letters. It was pretty easy, but a big WOW effect.

Hope you have a great day!!!
