Thank You

My dear friend Maggie was ever so kind to share her talent and capture The Wood and Watch studio in a photo shoot this past spring.

As a thank you for the special collaboration, I gave Maggie some Wood and Watch pieces along with a handmade card.

The card includes Washi tape, stamps, and a Victorian lady.

Forays into Card Making

A recent creation for a dear friend's marriage.

Front: Vintage image, stamps, acrylic paint,  gold paint pen, Neocolor II.


Back: Scrap tag, antique map, text in reference to the couple's honeymoon destination, Washi tape, gesso.
This piece is more of a postcard than a traditional folded card. A note and the wedding gift were tucked into the pocket I created.


The envelope was also handmade from a print of a vintage map. I'm too impulsive with my crafting to actually source and use a template, so I did a lot of trial and error snipping until it looked "right."
This project was a super fun way to use up my growing paper stash and embrace try a bunch of mixed media.



It also led to the first time I didn't have to frantically search for a card store on the to way a wedding. Double win.
