Anyway, I was a bit stumped by the Muse inspiration card this week - and that's absolutely no reflection of Tracey's colourful, fun card ... it's just that in New Zealand Easter is an Autumn event rather than spring. So I took Easter/Autumn as my inspiration. I used similar colours, but more muted to make a more Autumnal image and the woven strips are my nod to the stripes and the woven basket of Tracey's card.
I picked soft pink, green, blue & mustard/brown papers - cut narrow strips, wove them together & placed them on a white background stamped with a few dots of marmalade and wild honey distress inks. The leaves are from a Bo Bunny set I've had for a while. I've just held them in place with a little double-sided tape in the centre to give a bit more of a 3D feel. I mounted this on Chocolate brown card -chocolate for Easter :-) - and popped it on a soft pink card blank.
Weaving the strips was more of a challenge than I expected , but I'm happy with how they turned out. I think I'll play a bit more with this formula.
Cheers, Dianne
Dianne, I can see why you'd be stumped if you're doing Easter in Autumn! How very interesting, I never realized that. Your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding us that different countries have different traditions! I love your autumn Easter card - the slight texture from the weaving and the beautiful leaves make this a gorgeous card! So glad you joined us at Muse this week!
ReplyDeleteI think it is just fabulous that you made an autumn Easter card, and thank you for teaching me something new! I guess it gets confusing sometimes. You patterned paper plaid is fabulous. Thank you for sharing with us at Muse this week!
