Paper Piecing Mama!!!


Not that I really have to tell you, but I simply ADORE the High Hopes images! They are perfect for so many things! I just love being able to colour them in as they are wonderful for trying different techniques with my Copic markers. And they are great for paper piecing too!!

This is one of the cards that I will be teaching at a Paper Piecing Card Class for Scrappin' Great Deals on Saturday, April 4th. I thought that it would be fun to do Busy Mama's dress! So I picked one of the patterned papers in the Kaitlyn line by Crate Paper with a small pattern and stamped her on it. Then I stamped her again on Wausau bright white.

I coloured everyting in on the white image, except her dress, with my Copic markers. Then I cut her dress out of the dp and glued it on top. I also cut the pockets out of some purple paper and added them on top. The cardstock is all Bazzill Bling and I used a coordinating Crate Paper pattern for matting. I added some of this luscious, stretchy purple garter ribbon that I picked up in Toronto and pop dotted the main layer and the sentiment. I added two purple pearls in the left corner and finished it off by adding some dots on the bunnies' cheeks using white acrylic paint! SO cute, right??



Anyway, if you're in the London area and you'd like to take our Paper Piecing class, just call Sheila at Scrappin' Great Deals and book your spot!! This is just one of the four super-cute cards that you'll be making....we'll also be using some Bellas!!!

Have a stampin' good day!!
