Suede Paper Is Great!

I love the texture of the suede paper I got through Paper Wishes!  Today I've got a great card and some lovely embellishments for a scrapbook layout - made with suede paper.
 I love the way the red suede sets off the rest of this card.  In real life, it feels so luxurious!
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the suede paper cuts very well on my Silhouette.  Here I made some embellishments for a swap I was in - using the green suede paper and some Fancy Work Stickers. I cut the tree from the suede paper, outlined it with a silver paper, and decorated it with the stickers.  Similarly I cut the words from the suede paper, outlined them with the silver paper, and decorated them with a few stickers.  The bell is a fancy work sticker stitched with thread and highlighted with a metallic pen.

When I saw the little photo of your red suede card on my blog reader listing: I said "Wow!". It's very powerful. Well done!

I have to tell you again how beautiful those Christmas embellishments are! I was very lucky to be the recipient and they currently reside in my Christmas scrapbook as part of my 2009 layouts. Thank you again!!!
