{let's weave!}

{congratulations!}

This week, the create blog had a challenge to make a card using the technique of paper weaving. I had never done any paper weaving before, and wanted to give it a try.

Using my 6x6" Cosmo Cricket pp pad, I chose 3 pps to cut into thin strips. To begin, I added a strip of adhesive to the top of a piece of white cardstock. The adhesive kept the very top edges of my pps straight and secure while weaving. I then machine stitched down the edges of my CC woven pps onto a piece of red Bazzill.

I love how the weaving looks on this card. Using an Inkadinkado stamp, I chose Momento cantaloupe ink to stamp on the yellow Bazzill. It looks a little faded...but in real life, you can see the sentiment just fine. {I also tried it with black ink, but liked the cantaloupe better.} My goal was to keep the focus on the weaving. :) I also added an October Afternoon "happy days" sticker, some buttons, BG fabric brad (I so love these!), and some Queen & Co. bling. The ribbon is by Offray and twine from the Twinery.

I'm going to incorporate weaving into future projects! It has a charming sweet feel to it. :)

Thanks for coming by and have a great day!!
