Today's card uses the fun and unique Bargello Technique to create the background.
The Bargello Technique is a needlework or quilting method that uses strips of fabric to create zigzag patterns. I applied the technique to paper. Can you see the zigzag pattern above made with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP)?
If you are not familiar with this technique, you can watch my Learning with Friends video to see how it is done. It's fun and easy! If you can cut paper, you can do it!
The Valentine card today is made with the Bee My Valentine stamp set and the Bee Builder Punch. I'm slowly working on my stash of Valentine's Day card so now I can add one more to the pile.
This card is not the traditional color of Valentine cards, but it certainly is bright and cheerful. I used the Sale-A-Bration Heart Shaped die cut for the Lemon Lime Twist heart and then added a Bubble Bath heart for the sentiment.
I'm hoping this card will make someone smile when they receive it in the mail.
For the inside of the card I stamped some additional Bubble Bath hearts around the sentiment and added the colorful striped Bright & Beautiful DSP to add a pop of color.

This is a great time to take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration promotion which is well under way. Sale-A-Bration is the only way to get the die I used from the Heart Shaped Bundle and the Starburst embossing folder that I used on the Lemon Lolly Layer on the card front!
