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.
