Top Tip Tuesday Paper Piecing Challenge

Hello and welcome here!  Today I am back to work, I have no idea where the summer went. I thought I would have lots of time to get some crafting done and get ahead but somehow that didn't quite work out, lol.  Today at Top Tip Tuesday the Challenge is Paper Piecing, and a huge thank-you to Heather Ellis for supplying the DT with images.  I used one that I already had in my collection.

 Challenge - Paper Piecing

 

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used Pure Innocence Blooming Good Day by Heather Ellis.  I stamped the image 4 times once on the blue background, once on white CS (for the arms, legs, face, and flower stem), once on the pink PP (for the dress), and once on the cream PP (for the wateringcan and flower).  I fussy cut each piece out and coloured or shaded where needed with Copics.  I also paper pieced the background sky, grass, and cloud with the Memory Box frame.

Heather Ellis - 3 images of winner's choice

I added layers by attaching some pieces with foam squares.  Her head, watering can, her arms at her hands, and the flower are all attached using foam squares for added dimension...this was my Tip this week.  One bonus of paper piecing is that you don't need to colour in a sky, you can use a piece of CS or PP to make a sky.
