The real wood paper (purchased a while back at Michael's) makes perfectly unexpected snowflakes, don't you think? I love how the grain shows and adds some texture to the flakes (click on the picture to see it bigger!). The paper is fragile (especially when punched so thin for the smaller flakes), so I glued the flakes directly to the card base for added support.
Also, the SU cherry cobbler ink has tones of brown in it that fit so well with the wood tones, yet the red gives the whole card a festive punch. I'm sending this card to my aunt the woodcrafter!
I'm not sure how often I'll post for the rest of the week. We're having guests for the holiday, and the focus needs to be on family this week. May your own week--wherever you live--be one full of happiness, thanksgiving, and love!
Supplies

Another beautiful card from your clever, creative hands.

Very nice card! I like the sizes and shapes of the three wooden snowflakes. A long time ago, when M's had the wood paper on clearance, I neglected buying it. Now that wood embellishments are so trendy, that paper is long gone. Thus far, I've had no luck finding it at local stores. Drats. Oh, well. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, filled with family, friends, food, and gratitude. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your's! Enjoy the time with your family~
