Paper piecing

After blog hopping and seeing lots of cards with paper peicing effects on, I decided to have a go myself. Spyder has a wonderful tutorial if you would like to try too. It's very easy and quite effective.

I love this fairy! She's so fun!!! She was a freebie from Beccy (she is available here). I was going to go with a funny sentiment but I decided she's ready to give a big hug instead.

I did make a mistake when mounting the striped paper behind - I wanted it to go horizontally, so I off set her so the fact that the costume matches shows up and not just blends in.

I stickled the outlines to her wings. (please excuse the wobbly line - it'll be ok when it's dry) :o)

Thankyou for looking, take care and have a nice day xxx

  1. Well done on the paper piecing Julie, it's not something I'm in a hurry to try as I probably wont have the patience! Great card. I think the stripes look fine that way, especially with the image at an angle like that.
