<p>I am entering in the Oriental Stamp Art challenge to use Mizuhiki cord but I didn&#8217;t have any so I used satin <a href="http://www.papermart.com/colored-rat-tail-cord/id=10620#?origin=thefrugalcrafter">Rat-tail cord from Papermart</a> instead. I make do. I also made the background paper using a moldy-oldie stamping technique that would be just right for all of the artsy-fartsy cards, scrapbooks and journals we like to make. Get some white glue, cheap eye-shadow and you heat gun cuz I&#8217;m gonna show you how it&#8217;s done!</p>
