Faux Paper Weaving

Welcome

Today's card is all about using leftover strips that I keep in my stash.  

Most were done on my Gel Plate or were roll off sheets while I was printing.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by looking through all my scrap paper strips and picked out some that I thought would work well together.
• I glued the strips onto a piece of white cardstock being sure all were firmly secured and touching each other.
• After the glue was dry, I cut the panel into strips so that each strip included all the different scraps paper. 
• Using another piece of white cardstock, I glued the strips down, offsetting them each time to give the panel the look of some 'faux paper weaving'.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of red and then finally, onto an A2 sized card panel.
• I die cut the sentiment from some white cardstock and the word shadow from some of the red and glued them together.
• I glued that over the faux weaving and added 3 red gems.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I created today's card by using scraps I had in my stash.

The papers were leftover pieces I had made while Gel Plate printing.  

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I looked through my stash of scraps and found some pieces leftover when I cut down larger pieces of gel prints.  I found 2 that I thought would look good together.
• Next, I die cut the Plaid Card Front from some white cardstock.  
• I measured the size of the openings in the plaid, then cut my scraps into strips the right size.
• I wove the strips through the die cut, overlapping them until all the openings were filled.
• I glued that onto a piece of white cardstock and set aside.
• I found another piece of cardstock that I had inked up with some Distress Oxide inks in my stash and die cut the sentiment using that and then cut out the sentiment shadow from some white.
• I glued the woven panel onto a piece of purple cs then onto a heavy white A2 size card base.
• I pop dotted the sentiment over the center of the panel.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
