More String Theory

I decided to try more string theory and this time to use two stands of twine. This was using thick baker’s twine which does give a different look – experiment with any string you can find, it’s fun! One strand was colored with bermuda bay and the other with dapper denim.

On this card I draped the two pieces of string separately on the bottom card layer, then put the ends together, added the top card layer and pulled the string out of the phone book. For more detailed instructions, see my earlier blog post or Lydia Fiedler’s blog where I first learned the technique. I hadn’t really planned for a sentiment so now I went on a hunt for the right sized one – and found it in Picture Perfect Birthday, stamped in bermuda bay.

For these two beauties, I’m showing the top and bottom layer that were created together. I put the two pieces of string together and then arranged them on the card. It’s amazing how different they look even though they are mirror images. For the one I again used the Picture Perfect Birthday sentiment but for the other I used the Celebrate You thinlits dies which I earned in Sale-a-bration but which will be available in the new annual catalog in June.

I hope that you enjoyed today’s projects and that I’ve inspired you to try your hand at string theory. Just don’t forget the gloves or cling film to prevent extremely inky hands! If you’re short of re-inkers or card stock you can buy them in my store. Most of all, have fun!
