Welcome to another edition of Whimsical Wings & Things Wednesday.
Today I am getting inky with the Made with Love DSP braided/weaved technique from yesterday, the Sweet Jar stamp set for my sentiment, Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems and from my stash the Bird Builder punch and some Silver twine.
Adorable little sending you love card for a loved one.
Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday. Today I am showcasing the Braided Paper Technique.
I’m getting inky with Made wth Love DSP, Sweet Jars stamp set, Secret Sea, Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo papers and inks, Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink gems, and from my stash the Be Mine Stitched dies, Rhinestone gems and silver twine cord.
Braiding the paper is akin to weaving fabric in fact weaving might be a better name for this technique.
Once you have created your braided or woven pattern you can cut with a die if desired. For today’s card I am cutting two hearts with the Be Mine stitched dies.

Love the final design!
Close up views to show off the pretty textures created with the braiding/weaving of the paper.
