Paper Pieced Pants!

One of the blogs I follow frequently has paper pieced images onit and I always wonder hy I don't do more of it. Well this month the CAS Mix Up challenge is asking for paper piecing so I had to join in.

I had a rummage for a suitable stamp and found this old one from Little Claire Designs and thought it might make a good male card.

 

 

The scalloped rectangle is a Julie Hickey die. The papers are from my large stash of snippets so I'm also sharing at Pixie's Playground.

Anything with Wings

Welcome to another challenge at Digitally Sweet. This week the theme has been set by Ali and she has asked for "Anything with wings"

 

 We are sponsored by Digi Darla who has some great digis to choose from. I chose to use her Paper Pieced Owl and digitally paper pieced it. It's the first time I have tried this technique. I had a few hiccups on the way - but eventually came up with something that was reasonably OK! Fortunately I had made this well in advance as I have spent most of this week nursing an horrendous cold!!  So you must forgive me if I  haven't commented as much as usual. I'm pleased to say it is now much better - good job as my son is coming for a visit this weekend and I didn't want to pass it on!!

Paper Piecing

The Copic Colour challenge this week is to use Y23 Yellowish Beige, RV11 pink and BV04 blueberry or as close as possible. I coloured Tilda's hair with E35 then added Y23 to highlight it. I also used the yellow on the dress bow and cuffs, I substituted RV10 and used that on dress trim and socks and BV04 for mittens and frills. The dress was paper pieced to fit in with the Just Magnolia challenge. I edged the image with Glimmer Mist sponged on but it came out a lot darker than I intended. Papers were from some that were sent to me as a birthday gift and the bows were out of my box of bits.
