CCEE1435 Technique challenge

Today challenge on CCEE Stampers is Amber's Technique Challenge - Herringbone  A fun technique using up scraps of paper. Directions can be found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/herringbone/
I thought is was about time I made my first Christmas card for this year. Paper packs are great for this technique as they have a assortment of coordinating papers although you may have useful scrap papers.
 I die cut an oval panel with spellbinders nestabilities die and added the coordinating bling edge. The image is Stampavie Laurence Collection - Cosy Christmas and is coloured with copic pens.

  3. What a great idea to use a Christmas theme! Thanks for the inspiration. I love pretty Christmas papers and this is an excellent technique to use even the small scraps that get left over.

  5. What a darling image! It makes me think of the lion lying down with the lamb. I agree - I usually use a paper pad with coordinating papers rather than trying to find scrap in my stash that actually match!!
