The Craft Barn Challenge 2

Hi there, the challenge over at the Barn is to use one of the techniques using your scraps of paper and card.
I've chosen Michelle's paper weaving. I think this is a great use of  all those bits of lovely papers......

I used a pile of left over strips of  embossed and painted strips of silver card that I've had for ages .... /the weaving suits them perfectly.
Anyway, here is the card I made

I just love how the weaving of the strips creates such an exciting textural background. I stamped the bird (Crafty Individuals) onto a dull pewter paper in black stazon (It seemed to fade in a bit so the finish of the stamped image is almost a gunmetal grey. I mounted it onto black card then onto the weaving. I then covered it liberally with glossy accents. While it was still wet I layed some chain from an old bracelet into the glaze. To finish it used some spare card to create a couple of "dangly" charms with a butterfly and hung on chain.
Overall, a pretty masculine card but I do  like it very much, so much in fact that it may end up in my personal journal!
Have a great day. Here is a close up just for fun.
