September Gallery Challenge - Papercrafts Connections



Late this afternoon I decided to make a card for the the September Gallery Challenge at Papercrafts Connection !

The challenge was to make a project using natural elements like burlap, canvas, cork, twine, denim, leather, or wood etc.

I used denim (cut with zig zag shears), cork to make faux buttons/snaps (3 layers of cork for each button); brass rings and 100% cotton thread used to stitch the denim as well as to stitch the smaller brass rings on to the cork buttons.  Oh, and of course....paper!

I used foam dimensionals to pop up the face panel,  white paper is CTMH; More Mustard & Confetti White is Stampin' Up; Happy Birthday stamp - SU; denim - hubby's old jeans

Here is a link to the Flickr group for the September Gallery - check out all the wonderful cards!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy crafting!
