This card plays along with Crafty Secret's weekly challenge, this week is to use your punches! You can play along here. I also followed yesterday's sketch challenge. Yesterday, I flipped the layout, so had to try one horizonally.
This card uses a piece of Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps and my Martha Stewart branch punch. The primas are from my stash and are painted with Shimmerz. I chose to use Handsome Hunter to bring out the darker green in the image. I have never used this color before, not sure how I even have some, but it works for framing in this case. The burlap string and shimmerz are from Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts. TFL.

Great take on the sketch, this is lovely! Your flower just set everything off nicely and takes the edge off some of the 'rigid' symmetrical look of the layout - great job!
