Brown with Aqua Swirls

This card started with a scrap of swirl-embossed aqua.  I'm in a push to work down my excess scrap.  I use most of it as I go along, but sometimes it builds up.  Really I could just toss it, but I enjoy the challenge in finding ways to make nice cards with it.

Card details:

• Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) stamper's select white, aqua mist (light aqua), Hawaiian shores (turquoise), dark chocolate (brown) and the leaf print from PTI dark chocolate pattern pack.
• Embossing folder is Cuttlebug d'vine swirls.
• Dies are PTI my mother, my friend large label and the inner shape from PTI framed out #7. 
• The "thanks" word is cut with Silhouette using Lori Whitlock's ribbon slide set.
• Twine is The Twinery caribbean.
