Using 1/2" left over strips of Real Wood Paper, I used the old style technique of paper weaving to create these 2 unique cards.  The first was only using 2 species the bottom was using a different specie for each strip needed.  Same technique...two looks.  Tutorial will be posted on the website Friday.

THANK you so much for this month's freebie. I was making cards for the team for the Relay for Life walk, and found this. I know you've done several in the past, and I love them too, but this one is extra pretty and perfectly timed for me!
