This is my card for the Ways to Use it #483 Challenge. This was to use Twine, Thread, string etc, but no ribbon. I used a piece of red variegated embroidery Floss and it worked like a charm. I used one piece and made it go two directions.
I stamped and cut out the three flowers & glued a snap on each one with Glue Dots from Office Depot.
Oh I forgot my background. The ladies in my stamping group are going to experiment with Faux Silk made with a napkin. I have asked them to all bring a pretty dinner napkin - and in case that doesn't happen, I have a few samples of other things they can use - just to show them the technique.
With this card, I now have a sample of Faux Silk made with a piece of brown wrapping paper. Works for me.

Into my favs. one has to ponder this card to catch all the neat elements. Like your twine treatment, and I fell in love with the snap centers for your flowers. Great card. tfs

LOVE the way you used your string with the brown paper - looks like a gift-wrapped box from some fancy-dancy store that cost millions of dollars. Just perfect! Thanks for swinging in the hammock with me this week!
