I can't believe August is almost over... where has the summer gone?!?!? At least we are finally getting a little rain...
The challenge this week incorporates a technique... bargello. I have sent my group a separate message with directions for bargello using b&t paper, and a youtube video with directions for bargello using inked cardstock.
Here is the card I made...
I inked white cardstock for you... just different colors across the CS, starting at the top with the lightest color. You will cut that CS vertically into 1/2" strips. Using adhesive (I used wet glue), lay the strips down onto the oval. As you lay the pieces down, move them up or down to get the color motion. Once all the strips are glued down and dry, turn it over and trim the excess strips from around the oval.
When you are making your own, you can just glue the strips onto a larger piece of CS, then cut a shape using one of your dies, cutting through the background and the strips at the same time.
Hope this makes sense!
I used Z3743 Fabulous Flamingo Stamp + Thin Cuts. You will receive everything to make this card, except the flamingo dots.
Happy stamping!
