This is definitely a change for me. I've never used kraft cardstock before. It's never been a favourite of mine, but when I saw this challenge at The Spotted Chick, I thought I would give it a try. I decided to use denim d/p with it, as I think they go together pretty good. I punched the flowers out of kraft, inked the edges & added circles to the centres. I sewed the denim onto the kraft using butchers twine and also used the twine for the flower stems. I used a sponge and green ink to color it. The flowers & centres are rounded by using a stylus... you can see this on the following pictures.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:

OMG! Enter that card in as many challenges as you want to win. There is no way it could be bested. I had overnight company and, in the process of "cleaning up" I entirely dismantled my "craft cave".
I will never, EVER, do that again! Now I have to re-assemble the clutter!
Oh Darlin' - This is gor---goues. I love the denim with the Kraft. You definitely got the Kraft thing down. Thanks for playing with us at Catered Crop and good luck with Spotted Chick!
