Braided Card Thanks!

This is only the second card I have ever made but I like origami, so I gave this braided card a go.

This is my Design Team project for the Mixed Media Mojo November challenge:                           THANKFUL. You can make anything mixed media as long as it uses the word Thanks, Thankful, Thank you etc. 

The card was really simple to make but it looks intricate. I used a template that I got off of Pinterest and cut out a standard size card from cardstock. 

I then added some green paper that I distressed the edges of and layered. (The paper was purchased from SOD/SOE) I just kept cutting the layers a bit smaller than the layer below it. Everything was edged with Teak Wall chalk. 



I always lay out my design before gluing, just to see if everything works together. When it looks good, start gluing away. I really like the Tombow glue. 

I added a small pink ribbon to the braided edge of the card and finished with my stamped image to give Thanks. 
Hope you enjoyed my process. Carpe Diem!
