I'm the hostess for this week's Ways To Use It challenge and it's all about string or twine. Here, I have used my twine to frame my parachuting bunny. It's just an accent here, but there are many tutorials listed in the posted challenge where string or twine is a major player.
This was the start of my card for Lisa's Ways To Use challenge last month to use Kraft. I wasn't happy with how it was turning out, so I left it sitting on my desk. When it came time to prepare for my challenge this week, this card just made sense. I masked my center image and stamped a background in the border. Then I pierced holes and threaded my twine to create a frame.
Thanks for looking!

Your twine frame looks wonderful! I am going to have to try this; I like the rustic look it adds. Also, that bunny and the accompanying sentiment just put a big smile on my face : )

So clever and such an effective way of framing, Toni. I did something similar for a ribbon challenge, but that was quick bulky. I like the neatness of your twine - and the stamping around the edge of the frame looks great. Fun challenge, thank you.

What a great save, Toni! How cool to use the twine for a border and then the bg stamp surrounding it! Good for you placing this in the discard pile instead of the trashcan~

Nicely done framing this super cute image with your twine. I am so glad you kept this image and did not toss it. It turned out super cute on the kraft.
