Bargello Leaf Card by Karen Bourke

Take four small pieces of glossy cardstock and using a clear embossing pad stamp a different background onto each card. Rubber Stamps used are from Rubber Stampede, Inkadinkado, Hero Arts and All Night Media. Dry thoroughly with a heat gun.

Use Adirondack dye inks to stain each card a different colour. When dry trim each into 1” x 5” pieces and attach, with double sided tape, to a piece of 4” x 5” cardstock.

Lay the cardstock so the strips are horizontal and cut strips of varying widths, either by hand or using a paper trimmer, making sure you keep them in order. Form the base of the card with black cardstock and cut a strip each of cream and purple card approximately 1” wide and 1 ¾” wide to attach to the right hand side of the front of the card.

Mount your strips onto your main card starting at the left hand edge and working across, staggering the heights of each strip and overlapping the added purple card.

Cut three rectangles, 1 ¾” x 3”, from the black, cream and purple card and glue together. Add to main card with double sided tape. Tie a purple ribbon to a gold metal leaf and attach to the front of the rectangles. Add any further embellishments that you wish.
