MMDT Challenge #19: Fall in Wisconsin
THEME: Basket Weave
Create a page that integrates a woven aspect. This could be done with large strips added directly on the grid, or it can be an embellishment added to the page.
Element options – Include the following elements:
- Patterned Paper
- Fabric or ribbon
- Chipboard
Don't you just love the colors of fall??
I started with 2 sheets of patterned paper that I absolutely love and have saved forever waiting for just the right moment. They are from the Mellow line by Basic Grey...came out maybe 4 years ago. Never could figure out what to do with it...cute kids flying kites and walking dogs with trees changing colors and piles of leaves paired with a coordinating paper with an all-over floral print. So when I saw that we were to create a page with a focus on weaving, I thought these would be perfect.
I used Paprika Grid Paper partnered with Green Paper Tiles and the FALL 4 letter word cornerstone, all from www.snapncrop.com. I used the page pattern at the bottom of this page: http://blog.tamipotter.com/design_each_moment/2013/04/creating-different-borders.html. I followed the instructions exactly, and this is how it turned out.
Now for the embellishments. The woven patterned paper was already discussed; the ribbon was an orange fuzzy fiber that I bought years ago from a scrapbooking company called Leaving Prints. The chipboard owl came from Stampin Up'.
Boring he was as a piece of naked chipboard, but I embossed him with New England Autumn hand-blended embossing powder from a company called The Keg. Look at him sparkle in all his autumnal glory!!
My photos are a combination of fall at the Flower Farm in Mukwonago, WI, where I used to work, and my trip to the Apple Barn Orchard and Winery in Sugar Creek, WI.
Do you see the size of that sunflower?? Enjoy!
