Birthday Wave

This is a wonderful technique to use all of those leftover strips of designer series paper. You just want to make sure you have a couple of dark strips to use as accents. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Artistically Inked

Paper:

   Rose Red A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (3)

   DSP Strips 3/4 x 5-1/4 (6)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Bargello Technique

Accessories:

   Deckled Rectangles Dies

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I cut at least 3 different designer series papers into 3/4 x 5-1/4 inch strips. I used two strips of each one, and I made sure that at least one of the patterns was darker or more prominent to use as an accent strip. 

I then adhered the strips to a Basic White panel and then turned the panel and cut it into strips.

Next, I played with them, moving them up or down to create a pattern and then I adhered them onto a Basic White panel. 

I die cut the edges of the panel, using the Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered it onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Rose Red card front.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the panel and added a few Basic Pearl Jewels.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
