Made another carf using Janettes sketch for us. I picked up a 24 pack that was all the same piece of dp at Big Lots so I'm glad I ended up liking it! I used it as the base for my card lightly distressing and sponging the edges with Soft Suede. I cut a piece of burlap for a vertical strip. I added a square of Espresso embossed with the Distressed Texturz plate and also distressed along the edges. I stamped my sentiment and embossed in Early Espresso ep. I tore the edges and then did the faux burnt edge by sponging first Suede, then Chocolate Chip and finally Black. I added a button and twine accent. The center of the button was really deep, so I punched a bunch of circles and layered them in the center to give my bow a higher base.
