April SOTM

Nothing like last minute...  I've been slowly working on it (mostly in my head) for a few days but, I finally put the last pieces together today.  The idea is "lovingly lifted" from the amazing Lisa Stenz.  She made a pink, black and white version that can be seen here:

 I wanted to go with a more masculine version.

Did someone say Chevron?

I have been seeing several examples of "Chevroning." So, I thought I'd give it a try on this card.  We will be recreating it tomorrow night at a club workshop. 
Here is a link to a tutorial for creating your own Chevron paper with this method:

I also saw another type of Chevron paper created with various patterned papers from the "Dotty for You" promotion that is much more involved for those who aren't afraid of a paper challenge!
