Pretty Pastel Weave with Alphabet Grid overlay

Hi Bloggers.

I'm heading up to Creative Expressions HQ in Kettering today for my last workshop this year there. Should be a fun day!

Here's today's card -

For the weave, I cut the Intermediate Weaving Die out of Sky Blue, Lilac, Primrose and Aqua Card - one from each colour. I glued the Sky Blue and Lilac die cuts together, offsetting them to fill in the gaps. I repeated the process with the Primrose and Aqua die cuts. I cut the latter into pieces that were 2 strips wide and wove them through the Sky Blue/Lilac piece - under 2 strips, over 2 strips, under 2 strips and so on. I continued in this pattern until my weave was complete.

I cut the Alphabet Grid Die out of Primrose Card. I filed the tiles and letters away in my box and glued the grid to my woven background. I made a frame out of Aqua Card using dies #2 and #4 from the Stitched Square Peg Board Die Set. I added it to my background using Woodware Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess. I matted onto Lilac Card and then Sky Blue Card.

I cut the dies from the Happy Birthday Circle Die Set out of Sky Blue, Lilac, Aqua and Primrose Card.

I used the Pinwheel Floral Die Set for my flower cut from Sky Blue Card and my leaves which I cut from Primrose Card. I added a Small Circle Dazzler to the centre of my flower.

I completed my card by adding 8mm Cream Pearls to the corners of my frame.

This is the demo version that I did on the recent One Day Special using Mauve, Primrose, Baby Pink and Stone Card.
