Good Morning

I'm working on getting some Christmas cards done and this one uses a technique called Bargello.

It is such a great way to use some of the paper strips we all have saved in our stash.

I went with some Christmas papers I had on hand.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• To do this technique, first, you cut scraps of paper into strips.  I cut my strips into 1/2".
• Next, I glued the strips from top to bottom onto another piece of cardstock, placing them right beside one another.
• After the glue was dry, I cut another piece of cardstock to use as the base for my finished strips.  I cut the strips panel into more strips again and glued them onto the cardstock, OFFSETTING them to create the look.  If that doesn't make sense go watch this video:  Bargello technique - YouTube
• I added the finished panel to an A2 sized card base.
• I die cut the sentiment from white cardstock, then glued that onto a red shadow base.  I used some foam tape to pop it over the finished background.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
