Well Worn Herringbone Technique

Well Worn Herringbone Technique

This is the other card from our Technique Class.  I fell in LOVE with this technique.  You cut 1/4" strips and glue them on your card front.  First you place down the dark strips and then follow with the other colors, placing the same pattern in each area.  The Well Worn DSP was perfect for this technique and doesn't it make a great man card?

And this is the inside of the card:
I cut out the new Glimmer Paper available on 1/4/11 with my Full Heart Extra-Large Punch  and the Modern Label Extra-Large Punch and glued them onto the cutouts from the Movers and Shapers Die.  I then layered a Baja Breeze punched with the Word Window Large Punch with the greeting: Happy Valentine's Day.  I closed the card and layered the heart and greeting with Stampin' Dimensionals through the cut out holes.
