Browns, Greens and twine or ribbon


 Hello, today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Billie A,has chosen #277 Browns and Greens with twine or ribbon. To see the inspirational interpretations by the design team, please visit the blog  

I began with a white 7" x 5" white card. I covered the front with leaf patterned paper then I added a page from the Hunkydory Little Book of Window Scenes to a piece of brown card. I then cut out from 3 more pages parts of the scene, by fussy cutting and adding foam pads, I decoupaged the window scene, into an arch shape. I added a sentiment from similar Hunkydory stash. Then finally I added the required twine to complete for the challenge. Have fun, enjoy your crafting.
