7/25 - create bargello die-cuts using the Cuttlebug and washi tape.
10:15:00 AM
Bargello is a technique traditionally used in needlepoint and borrowed by paper crafters to create interesting background effects using paper strips. I borrowed this technique and have done a couple of versions over the years, but today I am incorporating die-cutting and the ever so popular washi tape to create this easy technique. Just another reason to use my products combined together in my Cuttlebug.
Tip # 7 - Use Bargello and washi tape to create funky die-cuts.
This
technique consists of small thin strips of paper used to create a background. I
usually keep all my strips of off-cuts to create this technique, but today I
used various strips of washi tapes instead of paper.
I
used a plain piece of white cardstock and adhered the strips of tape to it
until the entire background was covered in washi tape.
Then I used my Assouline die cut to cut the beautiful wreath out of my Bargello background cardstock.
I added some diamante in red and clear and adhered it to my folded card. This can be a quick Christmas card or a beautiful girly wreath by adding ribbons, bows and using floral patterned paper strips for my Bargello background.
