Paper Pieced Challenge

Well another week has flown by and here we are at Bellariffic Friday again! I love Friday's...it's a great opportunity to see some awesome talent. Hope on over to the Bella blog and see for your self.



For me, I pulled out my new Umbrella Peep stamp. I knew the umbrella would be awesome to paper piece. So I pulled out the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist paper pack and found a petite flower pattern that seemed to be the perfect design for a spanky 'brelly. Wish I had it actually - mine is a boring black. Of course, I stamped the image onto Bella's Bestest paper using Memento Tuxedo black ink. Then I colored little peep with copics but really there was so very little that this came together rather quickly. I did add some shading with prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol around the image and for the ground. The sentiment comes with the stamp and it's pretty big so I tried a layout that went horizontal. My finished card size is actually 5 x 6 1/2.

I added an open scallop border using a MFT die-namic. The skies ar still blue but filled with a little rain. I simply added some glitter to a fine application of Quickie Glue. I felt like this still needed something so I followed the flower theme and made my own paper rosette. Yup you read that right...I used the MFT Large zig zag die-namic and then curled it until it looked like a rosette. The leaves are cut from an EK success punch. Nesties helped make the image panel.

Next week's challenge is all about Summer. So bring it on with your stamps, your colors or your embellishments. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by!
