I made the string art topper card without the string. I used a piece of pattern paper that I already had. I used a watercolor image from Creative Fabrica for the center. I made the silver trim. I used a glitter gel pen for the writing from the drawing designs from day 2 (I have a bunch of adapters). This is such a fun card to make! I need to get some thread or yarn and try the sting design.

I didn't have any thread so I used the shapes to make a simple card out of things from my stash, even the card is pre-made.

This my version of the String Art Toppers. It was so much fun. I think my string was a little too heavy but I can't wait to do more.
