Welcome to the first ODBD challenge of 2010! The challenge is to use brown and either a die cut or punch. I hope you'll join us. Please use ODBDC110 in your keywords. You can check out all the details in the ODBD Forum.
For my card, I used the new set, Noah's Ark. After stamping the image, I colored it with markers and a water brush and cut it out. It's attached to a dk brown oval I cut with a Spellbinder's oval Nestie and then to a larger, rust colored oval. I used a circle and a striped dp for the top and bottom sections. The die cut buckle was sponged w/ ink before threading the ribbon through it.
You can also see the details and links on my blog: My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
Thanks so much for looking!
