Remember the Scrappy Strip technique? You can see a sample that I've done here.
Well today I have another take on the Scrappy Strip; this time I cut my strips and laid them down in a slightly haphazard pattern, offsetting each strip:
Doesn't this look like a mosaic? L.O.V.E.!
I started with Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral strips, cut on an angle, and adhered them to a piece of Whisper White (you can see the skinny white lines between the colors). Once I had completely covered the white cardstock, I flipped it sideways and sliced it into 1/2" strips. Then I started all over again, this time laying each strip onto Basic Black cardstock and offsetting each one so the colors aren't quite lined up.
I had no card in mind when I started this background, so once it was done I had to figure out what to do with it. And I remembered my niece was having a birthday, and the Dressed to Impress set would be perfect for this fashionista.
What a fun card for a young woman! Don't you agree?
