I punched a series of leaves from a dusty durango strip of paper, then used a border scallop punch just along the edge to create my side border panel. I added some green punched leaves, a pewter spiral, and a strip of American Crafts ribbon to the top of the main image panel, instead of a bow shown in the sketch.
