ABC Challenge ... P is for

Paper Piecing.

For this challenge we would like to see some paper piecing on your project.

Paper piecing is a really easy technique to do -
1. Stamp you image out as normal and colour the hair, skin, but not any clothes you want to add in design paper.
2. stamp your image onto design paper and cut out the clothes that you want and glue them over your stamped image.
Really easy ... and great for getting matching or co-ordinating clothes and design paper.

And for this challenge we are sponsored by Digital Stamp Oasis, who are offering 3 digis of your choice.

And here is my card.
I stamped and paper pieced Bumble Bee and coloured the image using promarkers and added stickes to the wings and dress. I cut a large flower in half and placed under the image. I added raffia lace and stickled round the papers.

The other DT members have come up with some stuning cards ... do have a look at their creations.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Suage Nellie Bumble Bee
Colouring Media: promarkers (Secret Crafter)
Papers: Basic Grey Wisteria (secret Crafter)
Embellishments:flower and raffia from stash
