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.<\/h3>\n

Bargello wreath using the Cuttlebug<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.
\nThen I used my Assouline die cut to cut the beautiful wreath out of my Bargello background cardstock.
\nI 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.<\/p>\n
