What a fun technique Joan has for us in today's Try a New Technique challenge to use a Bargello design in our cards! Joan has a great tutorial on her blog, and it's easy to do! I even have enough strips left to make another card.
I used some of my favorite Stampin' Up (retired) designer paper called Bella Rose for my Bargello pattern.
Sweet Kate is by Rubbernecker, and I colored her with Copic markers.
TFL!

The hair looks just like my DD's when she woke up in the mornings as a little girl - LOVE this image. I love the colors you used in your bargello background panel and the image is making me smile, actually laugh, truth be told.
