Hello there Crafty friends. Welcome to this month’s Technique Squad Blog Hop. Where each month we share projects using a particular technique. This time we are creating using the Bargello Technique and & I am very excited to share my hello there latte love card.
Latte Love
I adore this bundle! Not only does it have one of the prettiest images in the catalogue, & stunning coordinating dies, but it has a set of on trend layering masks for easy colouring!! It’s just amazing and must for all you floral lovers
With roses having one of the most diverse range of colours you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a colour combination as you can see below!
Even better is that during June you can save a further 10% off the bundle price! Woo-hoo!
What is Bargello?
Thought to originate in the Bargello Palace in Florence Italy. It is a type of tapestry associated with a pair of chairs. each chair was adorned with Layered straight stiches to create a geometric and colourful pattern. Its a really simple and easy craft to master. Once you know the basics, the principles of the technique are easy to translate into your paper crafting and you will be creating your own patterns and colour palettes in next to no time
A Hello There Latte Love Card
When researching this technique it appears most people use strips of patterned paper laid down and then cut and staggered to form a different pattern. However without knowing it appears I have been playing with this technique using ink blending for a number of weeks!
So here is one of the cards I made. Its so much easier to make than you think!
