Let's Scrap NSD13#8 Colour Cardstock & Recipe challenge

Today is my turn to host a challenge at Let's Scrap for National Scrapbooking Month in May! My challenge to create a single page layout with these criteria:

• start off with just a non-white colored PLAIN cardstock (Black, kraft and color cardstocks are allowed) and must use only one of the options below from #1 - 4 to create the background or emblish
• 1. Combination ribbons/jute/twine
• 2. One or many designs of washi/paper tapes or alternatively use the tutorial by Sue Down to make your own tissue papertape.
• 3. Stencils with ink/mist/paint and/or pen work
