Herringbone Technique
Good morning. Today Diana Enns and I are challenging each other to create a card using a narrow cuttlebug folder, and then turning those pieces of paper into a Herringbone card.
When I saw Diana’s black Technique Junkie Herringbone card, I thought I was looking at designer paper.    It was only through an e-mail to Diana that I learned it was indeed a handmade background using one of her cuttlebug narrow folders. Talk about creative thinking!
My card was made using the Organic folder. Â Flowers, from SU Fifth Avenue Floral, were watercoloured. Â Diana made a wonderful card and you can see it by visiting her blog Crafts and Adventures from the Enns’.
Thank you for stopping by!
