Bargello Backgrounds with Barbara,  Saturday, July 12th, 1:30-3:30p, $15

Time to try a new technique! Bargello is a type of needlepoint design made with a straight stitch. Magenta designed a technique to use on cards, and that's what we'll learn - along with a variation that I designed.  We will make two cards - and if we have time we'll make an image to put on one of the backgrounds. And I'll show you a couple of ideas for using the leftovers! Colors of paper will vary. PLEASE BE SURE TO BRING A PAPER CUTTER with a SHARP blade. Your will also need your basic Stamping Tool Kit. 


*Stamping Tool Kit: Bringing your tool kit helps make the class move faster as you are not waiting to use basic supplies.  Your paper trimmer allows you to modify a card if you need to adjust something. Also a class can be more enjoyable when you are using supplies and tools that you are comfortable with.

  
Your basic Stamping Tool Kit needs to include:
--a variety of adhesives including double stick tape, Powerbond, Easy Stick and or Tombow adhesive and a glue stick.  Hermafix tabs are also a good choice.
--double stick foam tape
--personal paper trimmer (fiskars or cutterpede)
--bone folder
--favorite pair of scissors
OPTIONAL (but sometimes handy to have): small cutting mat, a metal edge ruler, exacto knife, reversible tweezers, 1/16" hole punch, notebook to jot down ideas or information from the class.
