Wood/Trees

Our challenge theme 'Wood/Trees' has been chosen by me.

I made this multi layered laser cut design for my daughter and DIL for their Christmas, they wanted some wall art which followed their country and wood decorations in their home :)   The wall art is approx 39cm in diameter and made out of poplar ply which is very light.  After each layer was cut I then wood stained using dark oak, rosewood and golden oak.  Such a pleasure to make this for them and see it up on the wall too.  Alas I can take any credit for the awesome design which was created by Laser Cutano who make designs not only suitable for laser cutting but also for electronic papers cutters too.

A few weeks ago I published a post showing the clock I made my grandson Jay for his birthday and this fortnight I am sharing the card I made to go with the clock.  When I first got my laser I tried to cut card/paper with disastrous results then go totally side tracked with other projects.  It was fab to find a bit of free time to experiment again and with my gained knowledge I have cracked the card/paper cutting, happy days.  I designed this card using black card which had a white back to which I applied distress inks to make it green.  Next cut the design on the laser with a few extra trees which I could then stick onto the card, just for a bit more contrast.  So chuffed and giving myself a pat on the back now ROFL.
