A Touch of Nature - TLC Progressive Challenge Day 12

Happy World Cardmaking Day! Woot, I finished the Progressive Challenge at TLC Creations by October 4th (although you still have until October 6th to join in). You can view all of my cards here.

I used the rub-on technique to transfer the image onto a paper-backed piece of large raffia ribbon. Then I trimmed two of the corners, cut it with a PageMakers die, and matted it onto a non-backed piece of raffia cut with the same die. The two patterned papers are actually a double-sided DP from Jillibean Soup.

The little leaves & branches were cut with a Tim Holtz die. I used my embossed tool to give the leaves some dimension. I trimmed down the striped paper around the branches.

The sentiment is from a Clear Art Stamps set. I stamped it with brown ink on a gren paper and used a template to create the bottom edge. The lace was hand-dyed with distress ink.
