I decided to cut into one of my pieces of Paste Paper to make some cards … I also wanted to play with some vintage hymnals I found at an estate sale this weekend … they were a bit water damaged and falling apart … which makes them perfect to re-purpose into cards.
I used this week's Cardabilities sketch and some flower appliques I found in my stash.
Another using a larger hymnal page.
I covered the entire card base with paste paper … I tried to die cut a detailed butterfly but with the thick paper and paste texture, I couldn't get the detail to cut through … however, I did like the embossed detail, so I inked it with a bit more red distress stain for contrast and added some wonderful Graphic 45 trim.
Love turning my art into mailable art.
