It has been awhile since I have endeavoured in handicraft, so I decided that I should present what spare time on a cold Saturday night, an Avenged Sevenfold mix, an excess amount of paper and a blunt (might i repeat BLUNT) Olfa knife can do.
I had 3 types of paper with me
1) plain old purple cardboard that was gathering dust in my room
2) some Kikki K wrapping paper I bought for origami. Found out the stock was too thick for origami but made the most of it anyway.

3) Yuzen paper with special design that I got from a colleague it’s the prettiest paper I have ever bought and sort of inspires you to use it well you can check out more designs at http://www.toots.com.au/
the paper I chose from toots.com.au
After looking at paper cut designs from a book a friend had, I thought I should do something new and productive with all the paper. I feel recently as though my creativity is being sucked out of me and hitting a slump is really bad. But This has managed to take my interest.
So I decided to make a card and it was kinda tricky at first, seeing as I had a broken and blunt Stanley knife. (reminds me that I need to get more surgical scalpels. or just buy an art knife from the shops)
Orange thing being the horrid knife

Well after much laboring and music and readjusting the blade with blu tack and elastic bands This came about:
First attempt!
Looks ok to me!
