"Natural Beauty"

Good Evening Everyone! It's Monday and you know what that means... a NEW challenge over at Paper Creations Ink! The theme of this challenge is "Natural Materials", if you are wondering "What in the world were they thinking?" We were thinking of items like burlap, twine, cork, twigs, leaves, etc. Doesn't this sound like a fun challenge to try?
