Thanks! I'm always looking for new ideas for "Scrap" cards!

Gorgeous and fascinating! I keep staring at it, trying to figure out how you worked the strips. Am I correct that they're woven together? Did you glue them to a base of some kind and trim the edges before mounting it to the card front? Those cutout leaves and acorns combined with the whispy strips make the prettiest arrangement. This is just so outstanding. I keep saving paper strips but haven't found much to do with them. TFS. Linda

Yes labullard, they are just woven together. The strips that have the ghosting effect were done using the Late November spectrum pad which is why the are not the same color from top to bottom or side to side. That may be what is confusing you. I do a lot of basket weaving cards with all those little left over strips. I weave alot of strips together taping them on a piece of cmputer paper and then trim them to the size i need.

It is not stamped vellum. it is actually the ghosting technique on glossy cardstock. I used the fall frolics wheel with a versamark ink cartridge.
