Tuesday Throwdown 144- Make your own background



Hi Friends, How are you this fine Tuesday? This week's Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 144 is to "Make your own background" and  is sponsored by The Twinery! I hadn't had the pleasure of trying The Twinery Bakers Twine until now. They provided us with a nice sample package to use. The Twine is very nice quality and was a joy to tie.

 Sooooo...what do you think of my background?? I used a technique I found on Splitcoast Stampers called Herringbone Technique. It was fun to layout all the strips of Basic Grey Plumeria paper. I added a Verve diecut tag, some satin ribbon, a button, a few small brads and the fabulous twine!

 The sentiment stamp is Flourishes and the butterfly in Hampton Arts (from Kristi's blog candy). I used last weeks "The Sweet Stop" sketch 206.
Some other challenges this card fits are:

 Dream Valley Challenges # 5-things-with-wings Sweet Stampin Challenge Buttons-bows-and-polka-dots There are polka dots on the tag and a button and a bow.
I hope you enjoyed visiting!
Kim
