This is probably NOT what you are thinking!! Hahaha!! Today's challenge is to use some sort of natural fiber or material in your creative process ... I used a LOT of examples in my samples to give you a head start ... I have burlap, natural ribbon, linen thread and wood ... I am CERTAIN you all have "natural" bits of stuff in your stash ... show me what ya got!!

Rather than natural colored things, I went with silk ribbon which is a natural fiber. I dyed and sprayed it to go with my card. Fun idea for a challenge, Wendy. Thanks.
I tried to use burlap - but I finally had to go with feathers for my natural effects. Here is mine!

I finished my card in my pj's rather go Au Naturale *giggle* Wendy, this was a great challenge, thanks so much. And, as always, I can think of all kinds of stuff to include with those natural fibers now that I've finished - guess I'll have to create another
"Au Naturale" - totally love the theme of this week's Free For All Challenge! I've had a ball rediscovering all the awesome natural products in my stash and popping them onto some cards.

Doing a little catch up today so I am meeting the challenge here and also at the Inspiration challenge with this card.
It was lots of fun and I realized when I uploaded I forgot to clean up my poor scarecrows mouth. Better get the eraser out.
