I built a weaved background from two different stamps in my fave Verve Background Set.... the strips are cut in order across the stamped BG, cut and then edged with a neutral ink, this gives a bit more definition to the weave... although requiring a touch too much patience, I really enjoy making weaves... and then the lovely rose for the required pop of colour!!!
Thanks for a great challenge, I love love LOVE neutrals!
Enjoy your day paper people!!

Wow. This is amazing creativity Edna. Is it hard to weave the paper like that? It's lovely to look at. I think I'd have to keep this one on display in my parlor.
