Today's Twisted Sister challenge was to make a card using no neutral colors apart from brown or black. I used craft and the backside of my blue print DP, which was CB'd. This sweet image was a bd gift from that Stamp Animal- Shellapoo! Thanks sistah! XO The image was done in black EP and water colored.
The hardware is a jewelry box fastener from Orchard Supply Hardware, one of my favorite places to hunt for card doo-dah.
Thanks for looking!

I love your card! I have this stamp and want to try something like this. I am a newbie so if my questions seem silly that is why:-) I have not been to any SU demonstrations so I have to learn techniques by reading and asking. What is craft paper? Is it regular cardstock in a certain color or is it a special type of paper? Craft paper to me is the big roll of brown paper that is used to wrap packages. It seems a bit thin for ink and markers tho'. (?) How did you create the brown striped background? I do not know all the 2 letter abreviations in your description, so will ask how you got all the nice black distressing around the birdies without smearing. I am sorry for all the questions but they are a compliment to your great work which I will happily copy and add my own touches to. Thanks kindly in advance. Maria
