I have admired cards made with this technique but have never tried to do one before. I thought I was doing so well until about 3 rows in and it finally donned on me that somehow I mixed my pieces up when I was cutting and reassembling. Then it became a jigsaw puzzle and I had to make a couple of fixes (or attempted fixes) so that my bricks were somewhat staggered. I used the colors from the CAS because I am trying to use up some of the peices that I have left from making '09 grad invitations. So the black & teal peices are leftovers.

Well didn't you do a wonderful job with this technique! I scrapped my attempt on this one, deciding the image is as important as the technique, and this image is one of my faves!! Lovely!!

This is beautiful! I love that brick wall technique. Tried it and couldn't master it like this. So it's not showing in the gallery. (didn't want to scare anybody lol). Yours is awesome, love that silhouette flower. TFS
