Hi all,
Well this went a different direction after I got going...it had a mind of it's own. I cut the Birch/Aspen trees out of a real piece of birch (paper thin) Because it is real wood, it does not take to dies (it breaks apart). So before I cut it I attached wide "score tape" to the back to help keep it together (I know from previous attempts, that it will fall apart if not backed by something).
If you could see it IRL, you would actually be able to see the real wood grain. I then cut some pines and the deer couple. I tore some snowy ground and put it all together, popping some pieces out. I then pierced my bg and used floss to sew the stitches and floss to tie around the bottom. My inspiration for this card was the birch covered candle here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111656401673/
Don't ask how I got so far off...I don't know!
I forgot to say that I bought the real wood "paper" several years ago, not sure if it is still available anywhere? Sorry!
Thanks for looking!
