Adding Texture to Cards with Twine

Hello! It's Carolyn here to share another fun thing that you can do with The Twinery baker's twine. 

 

I wanted to add some fun texture to my tree card (below) so I pulled out some Peapod and Honeydew baker's twine:

 

I used my Silhouette to cut out the tree shape (3 branch tree by Lori Whitlock). 

 

After I printed the tree on Kraft cardstock, I covered the leaves with Scor-tape and then wound the different colors of twine around each leaf. 

 

 I used two colors to add some interest (shadows!).  Here is what my tree looks like after the leaves were ready:

And here is a close up shot of the textured leaves:

 

Of course I couldn't resist adding an extra tie of the Peapod twine around the bottom of the card, too!  There are just so many ways to use this twine!  Hope this idea jump starts your engines to add some texture to your cards.

 

Have you used twine to add texture to cards or layouts? Tell us how or even upload your photos to our Flickr Group to show us...we'd love to see! 

Thanks for stopping by The Twinery Blog today!!  

 

Have a great day, friends!
