This week is Wild Card Week over at Just Us Girls, and I am the host. Since it's the fifth Saturday of the month, I get to choose the topic for our challenge. I have chosen the technique PAPER PIECING. For this technique a portion of an image is usually stamped on patterned paper, fussy cut, and adhered to the original image for a patterned look.
Here's my example:
Here I chose to stamp and fussy the dress on this image. I used the same patterned paper as the background. I colored her with Copics and used Stickles on the sun and Pearl Nuvo Crystal Drops for embellishment. The image is from the GKD Sunkissed Autumn Kit, and unfortunately it is retired.
Here are the Ingredients:
Sunkissed Autumn Stamps
SU Island Indigo Card Stock
GKD White Card Stock
HOTP Pretty Little Posies Patterned Paper
Die-namics Delicate Doily Die
SU Balloon Pop Up Die for Ribbon
Copic Markers
Nuvo Crystal Drops

ReplyDeleteFantastic card! I love the delicate patterned dress she is wearing and how you added the same pattern to the panel on the right side! Great challenge, I had forgotten how much fun this technique is!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a dress like you made for you girl, Judy. I know my way of paper piecing was different but it's the best I could do with the images I have.
