Brown Elegance Card

{Make some matching paper by recycling}

Hunting high and low for some paper to match the dress image I coloured in and embellishments.

Maybe I should have thought about it before colouring the dress!

I've been keeping a takeaway bag for a tester to decorate. If you are a crafter you might be like me in the sense that anything might be useful to use one day, hehe. 

It is good to recycle.

Decided I could use this as a backing paper even though it was a little crumpled, I liked the crumpled look, but you could always iron it out if you wanted.

Being a bit plain I decided to jazz it up with some stamps. I used some text and a crackle effect stamp from My Minds eye clear stamps, Wild Asparagus set and a black Momento ink pad.
The strip layered behind the dress is part of the handle on the takeaway bag. The backing is from the face of the bag.

Simple. Effective and elegant was the look I was going for.
