Naturally it’s the noon time challenge!

Ooh, I just loved integrating a natural element into my challenge card today.   So here's the deal…Go Natural!

Go Natural Noon Challenge Graphic
Be inspired by nature with this noon time challenge - choose colors from a nature photo, use an earthy twine, faux snow, what about a leaf skeleton on your card? Just go natural and you'll be in the running for this one-of-a-kind challenge!

Soooo, I pulled out this great sentiment from the Naturally Merry set.  It’s stamped on Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I cut it out with a Labels Twenty Six die from Spellbinders and sponged with the die in place using a VersaMagic Dew Drop in Wheat.

I decided to turn the sentiment panel into a sign by punching holes in the top and using kraft jute to tie it to a cinnamon stick.  It smells so good!    I used dies from the Fall Foliage set and added pine boughs and pine cones to add to the natural elements.  The patterned paper is from MME Christmas.
