Celebrate Bargello

It's Technique Tuesday over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration

http://ssinkspiration.blogspot.com/2015/07/technique-tuesday-bargello.html

The ladies and I have some great projects using the "Bargello Technique".

If you were like me and scratching your head like "what?", I'll help you out. 

I CASEd the following description of Bargello from Wikipedia. 

Bargello is a word used in needlepoint embroidery, consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. The name originates from a series of chairs found in the Bargello Palace in Florence, which have a "flame stitch" pattern.

We did not needlepoint our projects but used strips of paper to create an interesting pattern. That would have probably taken longer to make and I'm sure if I had absolutely nothing else to do I'd attempt it. 

I invite you to visit the design team members blogs to view their creations for more INKspiration. 

Now it's your turn to try this technique. 

Feel free to comment below and copy the link to your creation so that I can see it and leave you some comments.

Here is my "Bargello" card:


I have used the stripes from the Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper to make my own chevron pattern for the background of my card. 

Pretty neat, right?
