Sunday Scrap Page: Rembandt

Today I share with you the 

Basket Weave Technique

It is one of the fun techniques

from the Carpet Tape Chronicles

that is the technique of the month April

over at the Club Scrap Blog .

You find a video explaining the technique HERE.

Today I used this technique for a scrapbook page.

I started out by cutting 12"x 0.5" strips of paper.

I cutted a small strip of the carpet tape to hold the strips

down on my table while weaving.

I also have some smaller strips 2,5 "x 0.5"ready for the weaving.

I just used this decorated paper, but you can also use different

colored strips matching your project.

Here you see the strips are allwoven.

But when you pick it up, it will fall apart.

So I just turned it over and stuck carpet tape 

all the way down. This way I can tape it to my page.

Now you can cut of the excessive strips to make it all straight,

but i liked it the way it was, so I did not cut them of.

Here you see the finished strip on the scrapbook page with

some Michael Strong tulips on top. I stamped them with

green and red ink (technique from the month March).

On the topof the page you find the journaling about the exhibition

my husband and me visited in Amsterdam.

You can read about it and see some video's here:

The Late Rembrandt in the Rijksmuseum.

Even though it is quite busy, it is totally worthwhile

to go and see the painingsif you are in the neighberhood.

Don't forget to add your card or project to

the linky party if you want to win a prize.
