Hi everyone. Hope all is well. Gorgeous day here today. This card is for the Whiff of Joy Challenge #35.which is 'paper piecing' and also for the Friday Sketchers Challenge #57 - which is a fantastic sketch by Beatrix. I would also like to enter this for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge which is a colour combo this week - pink and green. And, the challenge on Creative Inspirations is also 'paper piecing' so, I think that counts as another one, lol!
I have used Basic Grey 'Sultry' papers and some green cardstock. I mounted the back paper onto the CS and then onto the base card. I cut a strip of pink paper and mounted onto some My Minds Eye Bella Bella 'Flea Market' Simply Plaid Paper. Next, I cut a piece of green CS, ran it through the Bug with the 'Bloom Dots' embossing folder and mounted onto the MME paper again. The image is 'Willow with Flower Basket', WOJ - obviously. I have used the MME paper for her trousers, ribbon round her waist and hairband. I used the pink BG paper for her blouse and sandals. Coloured the other parts of the image with Faber-Castelle watercolour pencils. I used stickles for her pearl bracelet. The flowers are from WH Smith with a spacer and mini brad in the centre. I attached a wee flower charm to the back of the brad with jump rings. The sentiment is a wee 'Studio g' clear stamp that I picked up for 99p last week.
I am really enjoying this paper piecing - not sure if I'll ever colour an image again, lol! Just joking - but I am loving it!
Hope you like it
