thanks so much kraft card

 
I really like the natural look of this card.  The base is kraft card stock and the white and vanilla are from the Naturals collection by Stampin' Up - they have slight flecks making them more rustic looking.  I embossed the white layer through the Cuttlebug for a wood-grain finish and distressed the vanilla layer with the Distrez-it-All machine.  I stamped the image from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set once and then shifted it slightly and stamped again on each side without re-inking.  I also sprayed this part of the card with Glimmer paint.  I added the piece of ribbon and three brads.  I always have a hard time spacing the brads perfectly even though I pierce the holes first using the piercing tool and the mat pack template.  Once I get the brads in place they always shift a bit making them off-centre...any tips for preventing that?

What a beautiful card! I have that problem with brads sometimes too. It's probably the brads fault - not yours.
