1. Cut strips out of two colors or patterns of card stock or designer paper. I used Pansy Petals Designer Paper cut at varying widths-1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" for this card.
2. Line up strips of the first design on your work surface. Place a strip of washi tape or similar along the top edge to hold the strips in place.
3. Begin weaving the row using the second design. Weave it under and over through the strips of the first design.
4. Move onto the second row by weaving the paper over and under.
5. Continue adding strips, alternating with the weave, and adjusting them to make sure they are straight and even as you go.
6. To secure the strips, add a small dot of Tombow Glue to the underside of the strips on top along the bottom row.
7. Add small dots of Tombow Glue to the underside of the strips on top along the side rows.
8. Remove the washi tape, and add a small dot of Tombow Glue to the underside of the strips on the top of the row.
9. Set aside to allow the glue to dry.
10. Trim down the edges using scissors or a paper cutter.
11. Attach to In Color Shimmer Vellum mat. Attach to So Saffron card base. Stamp greeting from Pansy Patch using Blackberry Bliss ink.
12. Two-step stamp the pansy on Basic White card stock:
solid image using a lighter color-Blushing Bride
detailed image using darker color-Polished Pink
stamen using Blackberry Bliss
13. Die-cut leaves out of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and coordinating Pansy Die.
14. Attach to Pansy. Attach Pansy to the card front using Mini Dimensionals to pop it up.
15. Add 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to complete.
