{The Cat's Pajamas} TCP Tuesday Inspiration Challenge

It's TCP Tuesday challenge time at The Cat's Pajamas and we have an inspiration challenge for this two week rotation. 



I was inspired by the burlap on the wreath and the green so I started out by using a small burlap type stencil on a white panel and inking with Ranger Fine Linen distress ink. I also used the stencil to emboss it as well for a bit more texture. After coloring the image from the Bear Hugs set, I fussy cut out and then added a flower from Gumball Green cardstock using the Under My Hat CutUps, The flower center came from the Aye, Eye, I set and was stamped with matching Gumball Green ink as was the sentiment. I added four tiny brads in each corner of the panel attaching to the kraft card base with dimensional tape. I cut a banner  using one of the Bitty Banners and then slipped it underneath the panel so that only the top showed as a tab.
