I'm so glad you posted this for everyone to see! The picture doesn't do it justice! The stamping on the twill is so cool! I'm so proud to have my very own copy of this.

Janice - thank you for the nice comments DTP means "Direct to Paper" - I pulled the small bravo burgundy piece (that's under the twill tape) directly over the burgundy ink pad. It's hard to see in this picture, but it adds a great distressed look to the paper. I actually embossed the main image on the twill tape! If I didn't, it just wasn't as black as I wanted it to be! I used black staz-on and had to dump the embossing powder over it VERY QUICKLY or it didn't adhere. It was tricky, but ended up working! I used markers to color in the image. I used Ruby Red instead of Bravo Burgundy because the burgundy was just too dark on the twill tape.
Hope this answers your questions!!

This is really nice. I have a brother who has lived in China for 16 years and he often brings home wall hangings as gifts for people - cloth hanging off a dowel. They are very popular in Asia and look just like this. It's great!
