I trimmed my snippets to 1cm in width and then attached a piece of double sided tape onto thin paper at the top.  I left a gap top right before attaching the paper strips along adhesive in a repeating pattern.

Next I attached a strip of adhesive on the left hand side and attached the paper strips in a repeating pattern.  I then wove each strip in and out and adding double side tape along the right hand side and at the bottom.  I trimmed all the excess paper pieces.

I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black onto snippets of smooth white card and coloured them with Faber Castell Polychromos.  I die cut flowers and foliage from snippets Sizzix Textured card using John Next Door dies.   I figured out the layout and embellished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
