Priscilla's Papercrafts: Rustic Panorama

Have you ever created a Panorama Card? This uses strips of Designer paper, usually one with a scene, as a background.

But I changed it up with my card, using strips of wood-grained paper from All About Autumn. Take a look:

The five strips are cut at varying widths and lengths; the center piece is cut to 1" x 5-1/4". The next two are skinny - 1/2" x 4-3/4". And the outer strips are 3/4" x 4-1/4".

The only real trick is lining up the strips at the top and bottom of the card, along with leaving a small space between them. So if you try this, first lay out your strips, then when you have the pattern you want, pick one up and add adhesive, then glue it down before moving the other strips.

My strips were adhered to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock, embossed with the Timber embossing folder. I gave the same treatment to the Early Espresso Deckled Circle for the center.

And then there's the crate! So adorable! It's actually a 3D box, but it's skinny, leaving just enough room to tuck in your vegetables. When cut with the Rustic Crate dies, the box is embossed at the same time!
