My card for the CAS96 challenge. The challenge was to use a bow; I hope a knot will suffice.
My original intentions were just to use the image and the sentiment. But while sponging the background color, some of it ended up where the knot is...
I stamped the image in embossing ink, embossed with white detail powder. After masking the outside edges of the image, I sponged distress inks for my sky.
My first time ever combining 2 challenges - serendipitous!

I love this so much I walked over to my table and immediately started working on a CASE. I now have 3 panels with different branches and colors to incorporate into cards. Awesome, but so simple. Love it and appreciate the inspiration.
