Last night I made my first (and second) attempt at paper piecing. I discovered a few things--you need really, really good scissors (like my Tim Holtz Tonic pair) and a little patience, but you can get some pretty sweet results.
My first card was for a 5 yr old so I wanted it to be colorful. I think I succeeded.
Paper: Vintage Cream, Sweet Blush (PTI), Basic Grey Sultry
Ink: Versafine Onyx, Cherry Pink
Stamps: $1.99 Archivers Hotspot Butterflies, Butterfly Kisses and Little Lady (PTI), My Sentiments Exactly
The second card is for my mother, but she doesn't read my blog so I can post it here. :-)
Paper: PTI White, DCWV Glitter Mat Stack, Basic Grey Sultry
Ink: Versafine Onyx, Cherry Pink
Stamps: Green Thumb, Birthday Basics (PTI) Scrappy Cat flowers
I popped a few of the flowers up on dimensionals to give them a little more interest.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
