Those are very pretty Margaret. I especially like the first one. I'm sure OWH will appreciate them.

Beautiful cards Margaret! I see you tried the Bargello technique on your first one. It sounded real complicated when I read the tut on OWH.

Marlene the Bargello technique is not hard at all. It's actually a lot fun. I hosted a swap for this technique on another board 3 or 4 years ago and it was one of the best swaps ever. Everyone who was in the swap made the most amazing cards. I used paint chips that I picked up from the hardware store to do mine. You must try the technique sometime...it really is fun.

Sorry to hijack your thread Margaret....just got all excited to tell Marlene how fun this technique is. ....which btw, you did an awesome job with the technique!

Jane there is a good tutorial on Splitcoast:

I agree with Susan - this is a really easy technique, but has great results. I was in the swap she hosted a few years ago and got some awesome cards.

Very nice cards, Margaret. They are perfect for OWH. I love the bargello technique which I watched on Split Coast Stampers. I am anxious to try it. Thank you, Judy, for sharing the link.
