Found Paper Herringbone Card

The weekend is almost over, but we had a great one spent in the company of good friends! And school starts tomorrow after February vacation, so I'm doing a little happy dance.

I have a different kind of card to share tonight. It's one of those cards that I either really like or really hate, but can't make up my mind which - does that ever happen to you?

I have a drawer full of text papers - mostly small scraps. So, I pulled out the drawer and turned over the pile, like it was a compost heap and started collaging pieces onto card stock. Once the c/stock was completely covered, I sponged on several colors of ink and cut the page into 1/4" strips. These strips were adhered to another piece of c/stock using the Herringbone technique (TJ Dec09/Jan10). I finished off the card with a Tim Holtz sentiment and some twine.

Hope you had a restful weekend!
