So, my card is more of a general card than a birthday or occasion card, though will be given on the occasion of our church retreat this weekend.

I wanted to piece the jeans into my image. I used cut up jeans that used to belong to my daughter and were damaged to the point that they could not be given to the thrift store. I had one dark pair and one very light pair. So I mixed them into the image. I love the dramatic contrast.

I used Mod Podge to stiffen the jeans, and then sent them through the Big Shot with a frame die and flower dies to create jeans flowers. The brad is from Basic Grey.
