I wanted to get the feel of the stripes on the straws so I decided to do a basket weave. The weave helped me to bring in all the colors and yet keep the spirit of the clean lines. After it was all said and done, I wanted to tie it in more obviously to the straws....so I added a few white dots (basic pearls) on just a few of my own yellow "straws" for that extra touch! I think they also help to break up the symmetry on the card too!
Thank you soooo much Stef for handling the forum for me as guest hostess! What a great site you selected! Hugs,
Audrie

This is wonderful, Audrie and a beautiful take on your inspiration! You must have patience to have woven all those strips so perfectly! I LOVE the colors on this. Your pearls are the perfect embellishment for it too!
