I new exactly what photo I wanted to use... It was from a trip my DH and I made to California a few years back. This picture was taken along the California Coast at sunset... The sentiment is stamped in Stazon Timber brown - it is from the SU - Happy Harmony Set. I matted the image with barely banana, chocolate chip and the base card is pumpkin pie. I knotted the satin ribbon twice and added the funky fuzzy fibers behind the ribbon.. this qualifies it for last weeks Ways to Use it challenge - Warm and fuzzy. I sewed around the edges - image panel is popped up.
Hope you are enjoying your day, Joanne...
hugs...
