Sometimes a card will give me no end of trouble. This is one of those cards. I think I've ended up with a half decent card at the end of it, but it was a challenge to get to this point! Phew! I probably should show you my rubbish pile on this one (no, too embarrassing!) - that sentiment panel had three different versions, all stuck ON THE CARD, so that I had to pull things off and try not to upset my weaving, eek!
This card is for our nephew, a young man who is definitely not into bling or flowers or love hearts... someone tell me an AWESOME stamp set for men (all ages), please! I want to make groovy man-cards!
This is my effort.
I used SU! Not Quite Navy, Real Red, and Crumb Cake. Dies were all PTI - Chevron stripes, Mat Stack #1, Framed Out #3. The sentiment is from Framed Out #3. Oh, I ought to point out, those skinny chevron stripes are from between the two dies - when I die cut the two together, there is always a skinny bit in between that I quite like. :-)
Thanks for coming by! Now I'm off to sleep. :-)

Great idea to weave the chevrons, great inspiration from the photo!
Your effort is brilliant! I hope your nephew will appreciate it!!!
Look at you, weaving chevrons! Has anyone ever done that before?! I think you should have a prize for that! Well done!
BTW, I've seen your incredible photo log (and hope to remember this idea for next year b/c I love it) so I know you live the "stop and smell the roses" philosophy. Your pictures are stunning, truly!
