   • (2) Just Jade Leaves
   • Label from Whisper White and 2nd layer of tag from Just Jade.
2. Cut strips of patterned paper at an angle (make the length longer than the piece of paper you want to use on your card). Align the strips on the white rectangle, allowing some white to show through between pieces. Start on one end with a straignt edge along the left (or right) and keep adding more strips till it reaches the other end.
