Paper Piecing for SFTW!

When I stamp, I often forget that paper piecing can really add so much texture and color to your image. And, I'm not always in the mood to color that day!

 

 

For the challenge this week at

Stampin' for the Weekend,

we are highlighting "FLOWERS!"

 

I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of flowers and Valentine's on the girls' projects,

so I  limited the stamped and paper flowers and went with a flower garden theme.

 

 

The image is one from "Sparkle Creations" that I've had for quite some time.

Even though Sparkle, the owner, has closed shop for now, due to have a baby sometime this summer,

I wanted to create a card showcasing the way pattern paper piecing can add so much

to a simple image.

Also, the twine and tiny rhinestone earring make her so adorable!

So, don't forget to get out those tiny scissors and create!

 

Enter your own project at

"Stampin' for the Weekend"

and win a great prize (sponsor is a surprise!)

 

I would love to know you were here, so please leave a comment!

We get so many wonderful entries, but I'd like to know who's out there reading this!

 

Have a great Valentine's weekend!

DYSU Challenge #55!

This week the challenge is to use your

Pattern Papers!!!

Copic Marker Scrapbooking 6 Copic Ciao Markers (North/South America) Martha Stewart punch (rest of the world)

My Little Shoebox Surprise Goodie Bag

My card was paper pieced with pattern paper which is,

by the way, one of my favorite techniques!

Here's a close up of the pretty little image I used from Sparkle Creations, one of our previous sponsors.  She's called "Charlotte with a Rose".

I tied an embroidery bow around her waist and the flower stem.  I also cut a second tag and glued it over the first so that it would be more dimensional.

Enabling supplies:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Sentiment: My Favorite Things, "Clearly Sentimental about Friendship".

Pattern papers:  DCWV, "Citrus"

Flowers: Prima Marketing

Copic Markers

Thanks for joining me again for another peek at the challenge this week at DYSU!
