Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you enjoyed the Takeover Shows. Today will be spent unpacking getting website orders out - I'll get to as many as I can.

I think it's time we had a bit more weaving!

This is a two by two weave using Sue Wilson's Striped Weaving Die. To achieve this, I cut the die out of Coconut White Card twice. I glued the 2 die cuts together, offsetting them to fill in the gaps. I cut the die out of Aqua, Custard, Sky Blue, Lilac and Peach Card.

I cut the coloured die cuts into pairs and wove them through the Coconut White piece as shown, alternating through all the pastel colours of card. You have enough strips of pastel card to make 3 woven backgrounds like this one.

I made a frame out of Coconut White and Sky Blue Card using Sue's Ornate Pierced Rectangles. I added it to my woven background using 3D Foam and trimmed away the excess. I matted onto Coconut White and Sky Blue Card and added an 8mm White Pearl to each corner.

I cut the Justrite Happy Birthday Sentiment Die out of Sky Blue Card. I decided to add it directly to my background rather than mount it on another die cut so as not to hide my lovely background.

I cut Sue's Star Flower Cluster out of Lilac, Custard and Sky Blue Card and added a 3mm White Pearl to the centre of each flower.

Thanks for stopping by.
