Papertrey Ink Challenge 255

The Challenge this week at Papertrey Ink is to use string art and a diecut.  It seems like the challenges in the last three weeks have been progressively more challenging at least for me.

I got an idea immediately, but figuring out how I could actually carry out the idea took much longer.  I had some problems with stray ink and bad stamping that frustrated me and slowed me down, but finally, I ended up with something I could post.

I am thinking that I took some liberties with the term “string art” but the key elements of string and a diecut and Papertrey Ink products are there, so I think it fits the spirit of the challenge.
