at daring cardmakers, the challenge was to make a white christmas card with just a touch of pink. i always trim down 8.5x11 white cardstock for my 5x7 cards, so i end up with a huge pile of white strips, which of course i cannot bring myself to toss. then i thought of weaving them together - it's the perfect amount of texture for a plain white card. i plotted the weaving on pink cardstock that peeks just a tiny bit around the borders and used minimal embellishments, just clear plastic snowflakes and some pink metallic hearts. simple but elegant!
