Polkadoodle Challenge - Christmas Paper Weaving or Anything Goes

Good morning!  Time for a Polkadoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes 

The Design Team were challenged to use a Christmas Paper Weaving Theme.  I've printed two of the silvery grey papers from Winnie Winterland and used these to weave a background - I lightly distressed the edges of the strips before weaving for a more shabby chic feel.  The image is also from the same download (pre coloured), printed onto linen effect white card.  Everything else is from my stash

The snowflakes are two Marianne Creatables dies layered together with half pearls added.  Good luck with the challenge!  For more inspiration pop over to the Polkadoodles blog.

Get Funky And Craft - Paper Weaving

Hope you've had a lovely weekend - the weather has been fantastic and lets hope it lasts!  I've got a quick card to show you, all made with papers from the Summer Wedding download - and the download is only £1.99!

To make the weaving, I used some offcuts of thin card, inked the edges with some black ink - worked out the width of each strip and then started weaving!

The flowers are also made with the papers - for the larger flowers I've added a smaller one inside and then glued seed beads to the centre.  A bit of faux stitching around the main panel and the card is complete!

It was quite a quick card to make, or it would have been if the glue had dried quicker on the flowers!
