I used a kraft card front and trimmed a teal/brown paper for my background. I created my drapery fold from coordinating paper. My error in this piece was that I switched the long side so I should have folded it the other way for the drapery folds to show on the front. I am happy with the way it looks! I adhered my drapery fold to my background, added a piece of dark brown ribbon securing the ends to the back before adhering this large element to my card front. The little globe came with the paper pack. I cut two circles - oatmeal and dark brown. I embossed the oatmeal one using a Tim Holtz embossing folder selectively so I could get the checkered pattern in the center and the distressed areas on the outside of the circle. After embossing it, I sponged the edges which really helped. I added the globe with double sided tape then glued the oatmeal circle to the dark brown one. I mounted this focal element to my card front using 3D foam tape. It was fun to experiment with the drapery fold and I will use it again now that I have figured out how to use single sided papers effectively. Therese
