With a few quick runs through a paper crimper, both up and down and side to side you can create a faux seersucker textured paper. I love this simple effect which gives my card a casual yet sophisticated look. I first stamped all the heather flowers before I crimped the cardstock. I gently smoothed out the crimping before I glued the panel to the card base. Once glued to the card base I used my finger nails to distress the edges.
