I was inspired from two sources for this - one was an SCS Limited Supplies challenge, which I over did, but it did give me the colour inspiration, aided by the Our Daily Bread challenge to use punches and brown in our card. I also used the sketch challenge over at Midnight Madness for the base design.
The pink layer I put through the cuttlebug d'vine swirls folder to add just a wee bit more texture.
