You can stamp an image on burlap, as demonstrated here...Stamping on burlap tutorial

OR

You can stamp a texture WITH burlap.  Simply wrap a piece of burlap tightly around a kitchen sponge, lightly dip it in acrylic paint, and stamp onto your paper for a great, unique texture.  (Idea taken from The Stamp Artist's Project Book by Sharilyn Miller)

    If anyone is interested, I experimented with stamping with different paints/stamp pads on burlap a couple years back. I'm a scientist, so the post read more like a lab book entry than a scrapping blog, but here's the link: http://longlivepaperandscissors.blogspot.com/2009/04/printing-on-burlapmore-scientific.html
