Good morning, I am scheduling this post so fingers crossed the sun is still shining on us all, it has been wonderful, I just hope it continues for all the workers out there, hoping for a good bank holiday weekend and the children for half term.
Right, well I had made something else and had alot of scraps over, so cut into strips and did a weaving background, it has been a longggg time since I did this, do you remember when we all made beautiful hearts and centre points for cards, such a nice way to use up scraps. Anyway, here it is, not exactly what I hoped for but you have what you have !!
I used black leather type tape round the edges, not really liking it much but anyhow, the silhouette of the girl with the dog has been in a box of dies cuts for ages, so she gets a spin same with the hello.
It passed alittle time on while I had nothing better to do and it was nice to re-visit something I hadn't done in ages.
Just been going through old old posts and found this, a heart I made from wood and did some of the weaving on it...from 2011
Now, who remembers this box.

The woven background is such a clever way to use up scraps, and it adds a wonderful texture to the piece. I am going to have to give this a try. The silhouette of the girl with the dog feels so timeless and charming, and the black leather edging gives it a bold contrast. Also, that Just Joey rose is stunning—it must be so special to have a flower with such sentimental value. Hope the weather treats it kindly this time around.
I think your card is wonderful must have taken ages. The box is awesome. That beautiful Rose I love them I planted a Red rose with some of John's ashes as we both loved red roses. I woke up ato heavy rain but has stoped now but feels cold out. have a lovely weekend Janeette hugs Ginny x
The woven scraps look wonderful and make a perfect backdrop for the silhouette girl and dog, I think the bold black borders look great- the whole piece looks quite dramatic.
I don't remember the box, it looks fantastic so I'll be interested to see what you come up with now!
The rose is gorgeous, so beautiful - you caught it at the perfect time. We used to have that species of rose in our previous house, it was my favourite and produced copious blooms every year. When we moved -25 years ago now- I was tempted to dig it up and bring it here but was afraid it might not survive. I wonder if it's still flowering now. Thanks for the memory.

WOW Janette this looks brilliant-love the woven background and silhouette figures, beautiful rose too. We had heavy rain during the night and still really cloudy but warmed up.

Wow Your background is stunning Janette. FABulous colours and just perfect for this shilouette image.
Will watch your space to see if you make another box!
Think we've all had a little bit of rain overnight. Hope all is does is had a tiny bit of sparkle to this GORgeous rose x

Take care x
Fabulous background I love that and watched Natasha I think doing it last week or so, and I made a right hash of it, ha ha ha, but this is gorgeous and love the silhouette and your rose is beautiful, My mum had one similar colour called whiskey, it flowered and flowered and grew up to the eaves of the house and one day someone!!..sprayed it and it died, I was heart broken..

Lovely card, I like you woven background, its ages since I did this and you have remineded I have some many printed bits of paper I am going to nick your idea.
Beautiful rose, and gorgeous colour,
Did you say or want a fine weekend, down here in somerset we have at last had rain, in fact its just finished raining, yes my garden really needs it, but now the weather has broken, its going to be weeks before the nice weather comes back, I just hope that was not our summer
Have a lovely weekend take care hugs xxx
OH! You're so creative Janette, I love the die with the weaving, great idea, the black border certainly pulls it together, A fabulous piece of work. A fabulous rose, I remember the name. As for rain spoiling the roses, we've had a lot with high winds, but the roses are still, unbelievably beautiful. Have a lovely weekend. x
Wow Janette, Love the weaving and the black leather tape is perfect for the edging. The rose is gorgeous. My climbing red roses are in full bloom, and they are 35 years old now. The weather has been cooler here in Indiana, I have been enjoying it because I know the hot days of summer will be here soon.
Hope you have a great week.

Your card is gorgeous, love the silhouette...The rose is stunning.
Your woven background is perfect with your silhouette. A great way to use up those strips. Your box is amazing - right up your street. CarolG
Your background is like a patchwork quilt of life Janette. I love it! Oh the heart is so pretty too and can see why you visited that technique. I look forward to seeing your new box for Carla!! Great for the brain to get into box making for sure. That rose is amazing for such an age Janette. The colour is so pretty and I do love the name too.
What a great idea and look out beautiful it turned out. All those lovely scraps are just the perfect background for the girl and her dog.
At first I thought you'd been quilting - the woven background looks fabulous and perfect for the black silhouette . Your rose looks absolutely stunning, such a gorgeous colour. Avril xx
