August 2012 PTI blog hop

I can't believe it's the 25th of the month! WHOA! Thank goodness Erin reminded me- and she'll be so proud of how challenge happy I am! This month's PTI challenge was all about fall texture- here's my take:
I stamped an argyle background with vintage cream & spring moss ink- smudging more on the left side to give a worn feel. I used the fun trendy tree die & some linen-type fabric for the top- I love how you can see the leaves embossed, but they come out in the die. And perfect for this week's MIM challenge!
The trunk is on dark chocolate cardstock, embossed with the woodgrain plate, which works for this week's Ribbon Carousel Challenge!
A little more texture with woven burlap & burlap string- both from May Arts. Tea dye ink around the edges finish it off.
And since it took MUCH repetition (and a little smudging) with that argyle stamp (PCD), I'll add this to the Moxie Fab Repitition challenge! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Hopping!! ;)

    You rocked the challenge. I love the "worn" look of the argyle on the side and the wood grain look of the tree trunk. So very cute.
