I sponged frayed burlap all over the woodgrain die-cut and then thought it too light so added some touches of vintage photo. I wanted to use my new stencil and create a nice design on the cup and tattered rose seemed the perfect color for an old-fashioned cup of cocoa, coffee or tea. The rest kind of fell into place. I used a lot of different dies on this, but I am SO HAPPY I purchased the new HA Woodgrain Die.because you can also emboss with the die - here is a YouTube video.
