Several years ago, Magic Mesh was all the rage for scrapbooking and card making. Like most trends, it died out. I remember picking up 12 x 12 sheets of it at the LSS in their clearance basket. It got tucked away with (ahem!) some other embellishments and forgotten.
Today I drove to Ada to meet with Okieladybug and go to a sale at Scraptopia. While at her house, I was admiring some cards she'd worked on last week. She'd used Magic Mesh on one. I told her I'd forgotten all about even having it to use!
After putting away the supplies I bought at the LSS sale, I settled down to make some cards for Operation Write Home. While scrolling through my ideas folder, I ran across a card with this sentiment and immediately decided to use it and some of the flowers Okieladybug and I had ordered last month.
Of course, if you follow my blog, you know I put butterflies on everything I can work them into! So I decided to arrange the flowers with a pair of small butterflies flying away from them.
That's when I remembered the Magic Mesh, got it out and added it onto the card front. It may not be really visible in the photos, but it added a lot of dimension to the card.
So, look around and see what you have tucked away in your supply stash too!

Love this card! The mesh really makes it stand out.
These are both really pretty cards. I have some of this mesh stuff too! You gave me a good idea here, and your b/flies are always a wonderful addition to your cards. TFS
