One Day Special Shows continue on Hochanda today

Hi Bloggers.

One Day Special Shows continue on Hochanda today at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. Hope you can join me. I will try to show as many weaves as I can throughout the day.

Here's today's card -

There's a lovely pastel pack of card on the shows. As well as playing with different weaves, different colour combinations give different effects too.

So, for the weave on this one, I started by cutting Sue Wilson's Striped Weaving Die once out of Aqua, Lilac, Custard and Sky Blue Card. I glued the Custard one to the Sky Blue one, offsetting it to fill in the gaps. I glued the Lilac one to the Aqua one, again offsetting it to fill in the gaps. The resulting die cuts then have 2 Lilac then 2 Aqua then 2 Lilac then 2 Aqua and so on and the other has 2 Custard, 2 Sky Blue, 2 Custard, 2 Sky Blue and so on. For this weave, I kept them all in the order they were lying.

I used the Custard/Sky Blue one as the base. I wove 2 strips from the Aqua/Lilac one through it - under 2, over 2, under 2, over 2 and so on to the end. Keeping the strips in order, I wove the next 2 Lilac/Aqua Strips over 2, under 2, over 2, under 2 and so on till the end. I repeated these 2 rows until the whole piece was completely woven.

I made a frame out of Aqua Card using dies #2 and #5 from Sue's Scalloped Lattice Frames Set B. I cut a thinners frame out of Custard Card using dies #2 and #3 from the same set and glued the 2 frames together. I added the frame to my woven background using 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess. I matted onto Lilac and then Sky Blue Card.

I cut dies from Sue's Happy Birthday Circle Die Set out of the same 4 colours of card as shown.

I cut Sue's Star Flower Cluster Die Set out of Lilac, Sky Blue and Custard Card and added 5mm White Pearls to the centre of the flowers.

I completed my card by adding an 8mm White Pearl to each corner of the frame.
