Papercutting: Hand-Cut Wedding Card

As an undergraduate I took a hand-paper making and book arts course. This is where I learned how to make hand-carved stamps, books, and refined my XACTO-Knife skills. It was also where I first tried my hand at papercutting.

Fast forward to 2017 and it's been years since I paper-cut anything. What better excuse to pick up the blade again than the wedding ceremony of  my good friend, Mary, who was in that undergrad course with me. If anyone would appreciate the labor of a papercut wedding card, I knew Mary would.

Here are a few photos of the card in-progress and the finished product:

All cut out!
