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.

This is gorgeous, Gail! I love all things 'natural' and this fits the bill. From the fern to the burlap, to the large button and twine, it is perfect! TFS and thanks for your prayers.

This is just beautiful! Love the rich textures and the curled edge on the burlap so it embraces the sentiment. And the uneven, faux burned edge on the sentiment panel is a creative and attractive way to add an interesting element to the design. TFS!
