I’ve been wanting to use the Herringbone technique for a while now, and I thought this birthday card for Linda, one of my Stamp Club members, was the perfect opportunity.

I wanted it to be bright and happy, so naturally I decided to use the Brights color family. I cut 1/2″ strips from the floral paper in each color from the Brights Designer Paper Stack. I glued them in a herringbone pattern onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. I then glued that to a Thick Whisper White card stock base.

The sentiment is from the Super Anniversaire stamp set, which is the French translation of the Amazing Birthday stamp set. You see, Linda speaks a few languages, including French. I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Pacific Point to color the stamp. I used the Note Tag Punch to cut the sentiment, tied on a piece of Whisper White 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon, and attached it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here’s what I used:

I love hearing from you, and I welcome your questions and comments!

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
