Gone Fishing

Good morning! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Incy Wincy Designs and their challenge is to use a Faux Technique on your project. I took whisper white paper and dragged a light, med and then dark brown over it to create "lines" and then embossed it with a wood folder. I cut strips approx. 1.5cm wide, cut 45 degree angles on the ends and then put mini brads on each end. I printed Gone Fishing cut it out and was done. I think the window frame turned out fantastic!
