Playing with Straws…

Ooops; more than a week has passed by since I had my little play session with some of the new vintage paper straws I now stock at the LLC store. 😳

Last week’s theme for the LLC DT was opposites, so I decided to use that theme as a starting point for my card…and as always when there are new papers in da house, I can’t keep my fingers away from them, so I used the brand new Christmas papers from  Maja Design. This is how my card turned out:
The beautiful image is also from the “A Gift for You” collection and can be found on the Die Cuts Sheet. It’s not often I use black card stock, but I thought it would look cool with the snow-tex and frantage added to it, and I’m quite happy with the outcome.

I used a white and black straw that is a perfect match to this paper.

I haven’t scrapped in a long time, so since I already had everything out, I decided to make a second card: Here I used a couple of the striped straws. The left over pieces I used for the flower display:
