Cards using marbleized red construction paper

I cut out a piece of my marbleized construction paper and painted the edges with gold acrylic paint.

I painted watered down black acrylic over the gold to give it an antique look. I cut out two pieces of yellow cardstock, a bar to go across the card and a smaller piece for the thank you tag. I decorated the bar with red markers and wrote thank you on the tag. I painted the edges on both bar and tag with gold acrylic paint. I wrapped yellow embroidery floss around the bar. I glued bar and tag to the card using tacky glue, then added bows I made from the yellow floss.

On the second card, I decided to make the card from the construction paper. I glued some shapes from cardstock onto the front of the card, and then painted them. Then I painted around the shapes. I taped white cardstock on the inside of the card using double sided tape. 

I love this card, but I’m not sure what I will use it for.
