I was particularly excited to try the Bargello technique. It's simple enough. The effect is really great! I didn't want to cover up all that beautiful work so I kept my stamping to a minimum. The sentiment stamped on vellum also helped.
Are you thinking I missed a challenge color? Pretty in Pink? Well, I tried to work in more of it...it just didn't work out for me. However, it is in there! Just look closely at the Tea Party Designer Series Paper.

Just the cutest!! I bet this was fun to make using the Bargello Technique with your quilting background... I did see it in the June SU! Newsletter. Diane gave me a peek of the NEW SU! In-Colors coming in July! (She is such a tease!) Keep cool... very humid today! Enjoy the long weekend coming soon... :)
