Been a lovely day here today so I managed to get all the washing done. Had a little play this afternoon and did some paper weaving - how difficult can that be!!! As someone who's dabbled in ribbon weaving from time to time I wasn't expecting any trouble - big mistake - I probably destroyed a tree creating this background lol!
I used some iris folding papers (for the first time having owned them for years!) for the weaving, added a sentiment to the centre (from Docrafts goody bag) and finished with some 3d chipboard stick on shapes in each corner ( a bogof from Lakeland many moons ago!). Don't think I'll be trying this again any time soon but at least I've used up some elderly stash in my endeavours.

Wow Carol, I've never tried paperweaving but it looks as complicated as putting a lattice crust on a cherry or apple pie. The embellies are just so cute and really make the card a stunner. Thanks for joining us at CCAYR. "Hugs" Carol
