Now that this card has been received, I'm going to share it here. I wove some leftover strips of autumn dsp from Tim Coffey that I've had for years to make the background, then die-cut the panel with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die. Next I took a snippet of card stock and embossed it with a SU! basketweave ef, sponging some rust ink all over it before hand-cutting it into a banner. The heart is from the SSS Thank you heart die set and I cut it from a piece of corrugated packaging, adding some white ink and gold twine. The sentiment was heat-embossed with white ep on espresso card stock that was die-cut with MFT label dies. Lastly, I added a few tiny amber gemstones for a little sparkle and placed it all on a sage card base. I thought it was perfect for an autumn birthday when I finished it.
I'd like to share this with the following challenges:
the Snippets Playground #340 - must use snippets
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - anything goes
Little Red Wagon #474 - leftovers
Cute Card Thursday challenge #558 - Recycle something
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper November 2018 challenge - use patterned paper
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you're doing!

This is gorgeous with so much attention to detail and its so tactile. Everything from the weaving to that wonderful heart out of corrugated packaging with the splash of white looks amazing together. I bet the recipient was thrilled to bits x

Unique and so original, love the heart.x
Wow, what a really cool look! Very rustic! I wouldn’t have thought that the double thickness woven background would have die cut so nicely. Great card!

This is a work of art to be framed. I love the color and all that texture. A wonderful way to use scraps and they all blended together so well.
A really lovely card - great work Carol. It certainly is a snippets buster - so tactile as well, I love this card! Apologies for a hasty comment and for me taking so long to get here! Blame Dudley!
