As a basket weaver, this was an idea that's been floating around in my head for a long time, so this challenge was perfect for it because of all the natural colors.
I tried to make the card kind of shabby chic by inking up all the edges, including the flowers, and I think I really like them "dirty." Looking at it now, I wish I'd sponged the strips before weaving. Guess I'll have to make another one!
