Happy Wednesday to all!
I am loving April...the weather here as been fabulous and the trees are full of blossoms. I am very thankful to live in this part of the world. Hope all is well with you also.
Today we have a card that I got the inspiration from a video I saw online. I was looking for something fun for my stamp club this month and I came across Brandy Cox from North Carolina. So kodoos to her for my take on the braided card.
We had a lot of fun creating and I will share all the others we did later in the week. Here we have a peek inside...
I used markers to ink the images. It gives it a different dimension and depth of colour. I hope you like my share today. Here is the sketch. Give it a try.
Here are the links for the products I used today.
Now folks...off to the rest of the wonderful creations. Have fun and I know you'll be as inspired as I am following these ladies.

Hi - I landed here from Amy Koenders' blog. Your card is lovely with the braid and the feminine touch. This technique is one of my personal favorites. I finally purchased a steel template/die for the braid because I wear out the paper ones so quickly! (I found one at The Frantic Stamper website along with braided wreath dies.)

Beautiful Shelagh! Your edge treatment is stunning and the inside of your card is just as stunning as the outside!

Beautful Shelagh! Love the braided side. It's so feminine and light. Just wonderful!
