Paper piecing ... again

The second card of the day .. and more paper piecing. This week's Whiff of Joy challenge is to use paper piecing. I have used the sketch from the Papertake Weekly challenge, and the colours pink, green and black from this week's Colour Create's fruit salad. There are also dots so it fits the Stamp with Fun challenge.

I coloured Melinda in using promarkers and paper pieced her top, trousers and hair band. I followed Dawny's sketch, although I omitted the sentiment as I want it for a friend and a sentiment isn't appropriate. I added a button, a bit of ribbon and a charm.
We are off to Hobbycraft this afternoon so the girls can choose some bits and pieces to make their Daddy's card for Father's Day ... no doubt it will cost a fortune, Ellie has expensive crafting tastes!!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Melinda with book
Colouring Media: promarkers
Papers: Basic Grey Eva
Embellishments: button, ribbon and charm from stash
