I’m a HUGE fan of brown tones. Dark Chocolate is one perfect brown! Not to red, not too green… just right! Finding coordinating products for this was easy,I went with rich earth tones and also found some fantastic nuetral embellishments.
I’ve put together my walk through video plus explain how I used some of the product for my card. Enjoy!
I created my card using a few circle dies as the focal point, both are from Simon Says Stamp, the larger one is from the Hexagon Pattern Die set and the smaller is from the Circle on a Line set. I loved the Take a Hike paper from Simple Stories, it was perfect for this arrangement.
I added a few embellishments to my arrangement starting with the Urban Metal badge for Lily Bee Designs, and the Wood Dots from the Just Splendid My Mind’s Eyes collection.
Putting everything together was simple using the coordinating products. :o)
