Our tenth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "cinnamon cider" from the 2020 - 2022 in color collection. I have chosen cinnamon cider, crushed curry and cajun craze from the colour coach to work with today for my creation (and I also added in early espresso). For my card today I have used the herringbone technique with cardstock strips in four colours. I used two different designer series paper, (world of good and in good taste), and made my own paper strips for the other two colours. For the cajun craze strips I used the mother of pearl technique and for the crushed curry strips the shaving foam technique.
After laying down my herringbone panel I decided the pattern was quite masculine and was considering making a male birthday card but since Father's Day is next month (first Sunday in September in Australia) I thought I would get super organised and make a card to mail to my Father in law. (Need to make a card for my dad next.)
I am a lot more organised (and in a better head space) than I was in the lead up to Mother's Day, as we were in isolation then too and I didn't even make any cards for my Mum or Mother in law! Whoops!
Close up
Inside card - I feel the inside of the card could work as a card front on its own as well.
I typed the sentiment Happy iso Father's Day and used a font I downloaded for the internet (Desert Queen). I finished off the sentiment with the Playful Alphabet Dies. I also tried to echo the front of the card with the herringbone technique but due to the panel being much smaller I only ran the cardstock strips in one direction.

Wow, Ros - this is AWESOME! Love the intricate piecing of all the different paper patterns, and the inside of your card is almost as amazing as the front. A real work of art.

Brilliant use of paper strips Ros, love how your card turned out in all those lovely papers. The custom-typed sentiment is a goodie too.

Your card is magnificent Ros. I really appreciate the care you have taken to construct the pieced panel and I love the use of the alphabet dies to personalise the inside of the card. There are so few truly wonderful masculine cards around but this is certainly one of them.
