In and Out

365 Cards Day 219 - In and Out
To use weaving on your card.

A very satisfying challenge as it was a great use of hoarded bits.
I went through my box of paper strips, you know...all those strips from the edges of 6" x 6" papers when you do a 5.5" x 5.5" card. I got as many of a similar shade and wove them together...very therapeutic, some were slightly wider than others but I don't think that mattered at all. Also the scalloped circle was out of my box of leftover bits from die cutting, these are so useful for frames.
The brown card is Bazzill bling.
Flowers are Prima
Large brad is a 'splatter brad' from Eyelet outlet
Other brads from my stash.
The stamped image has been in my box for years already coloured just waiting for it's moment. It looks like it's been coloured with a mix of Sakura pens, a bit garish to say the least.

At last I have caught up, well this week anyway...not long term, far too many to fill in from the start. :D

365 Cards - Days 139 & 140

Here are my final 2 cards this week, and boy what a struggle with the final one.
Day 139 - Paper Piercing
Day 140 - Paint It!!

Day 139
I had fun with the piercing and did a cute 4" x 4" card.
I daresay I could have done more holes looking at it now, but I can always add.
Ingredients for this:-
Kraft Card - SU
Cream leather look card - from my bit box
Metal spacer - The Hobby House
Ribbon, buttons, flowers, brad and sentiment from my stash.

After finishing the card all bar the piercing I placed my largest square Nestie over the embelished piece and drew lightly around with a soft pencil, I could then pierce in as perfect a square as I could. I pierced the four corners first then halved every space between the holes with a piercing until finished. Any pencil marks can now be rubbed out.

Day 140

Oh! the woes of choosing an unmatchable colour. But the only paint I had was this, then the paper followed quite well, but to embelish was terrible I had stuff on and off and coloured with pens, too late to paint another piece as it wouldn't be dry to scan.
So my offering used these ingredients:-
Green base card - QVC
Backing paper - magazine freebie
Letter 'H' - misc. naked chipboard
Paint - Adirondack pearlised acrylic in 'Bottle'
Overstamping on letter - background stamp by Judikins using Brilliance 'Moonlight White'
Rub-on Sentiment & Sticky flower - Acts of Kindness
White Flower - Green Tara
Huge Brad - Eyelet Outlet
Piece of ribbon from bit box

Note to self - green is very hard to match..lol!!
