For this card I started with the background which is a panel reused from a larger card. I trimmed it to size, distressed its edges and then for yet more texture I ran my pattern tracing wheel around all four edges. I punched two small holes near the top edge and threaded some twine into them and tied the ends off on the front. I added some lines of texture to my leather leaf die cut (TH) with a wood burning tool. I love how well that works!! I layered it over two other die cut leaves (TH) - a brown textured brown one and a smooth navy blue one. I adhered the blue leaf to the brown one and then added some white glue in the area that would be hidden by the leather leaf and put it in place. I adhered this trio to the background tucking the stems under the twine. To finish off my card I adhered this large layer to the front of a brown card.
