This challenge was to use brown or whatever color is typically difficult for you to use in card making. The twist was to incorporate circles in some way. I struggle to use brown/kraft paper.
This is a kraft patterned paper that I had in my stash, with various printed designs on it that could be cut apart for card making. I'd found a 12 sheet pack of it at Tuesday Morning, and I bought it, thinking that it would be great for cards, but I actually have had a very difficult time using it.
I often wake up during the night and can't go back to sleep. Last night was another of those nights, so I was up in my craft room around 4:30 this morning, working on this card. It came together easier than I expected. The hardest part was actually figuring out what to use for the card base behind the printed kraft elements. I used an embossing folder to give the lighter brown card stock some texture/dimension.
The kraft paper is called Alfresco Sampler on Kraft by Canvas Corp.
