This is a TOTAL throwback technique that I have done for over a dozen years! It’s called Bargelo. It is made by cutting strips of cardstock to 1/2” wide and as long as you want the finished product to be.
I mounted 1/2” x 4” pieces of Basic White, Shy Shamrock, Peach Pie, Crumb Cake, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock and Basic White to a 4” x 3.5” base piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, laying the strips horizontally.
I then cut the piece into vertical 1/4” strips, working across the 4” edge of mounted cardstock.
Once the strips are cut, mount them from left to right starting in the lower left corner and moving each subsequent vertical strip up 1/4” up. You can repeat this up and/or down until you get the desired pattern you were visualizing.
Lastly, I topped everything with a Sentimental Frames Die and a Die from Storybook Friends. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed using White Embossing Powder. I fussy cut the sentiment panel, including the Peach Pie “SMILE”. Adding a couple of 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems as a finishing touch.
