Bargello - CCEE 1446

This week Maryann has challenged the CCEE Stampers to create a card using the bargello technique. This technique involves using strips of paper in a very unique way. 

You can find the Splitcoaststampers Tutorial which is very helpful in describing bargello here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/bargello/

I have used scraps from an old BasicGrey holiday series called Jovial. The poinsettia was created with Susan's Garden Poinsettia dies by Sizzix and the Martha Stewart fern punch. The sentiment comes from Contempo Christmas by Stampin' Up.


Follow the links below to see the bargello designs of the rest of the CCEE Stampers Design Team. Then give this fun technique a try and post a link to your design on the CCEE Stampers Blog.
