Before I get into our new challenge this week on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog I want to thank everyone for all of the wonderful comments that I received on last week's entry. They were so much fun to read and I appreciate them so much. Please be on the lookout for the announcement of the winner of the blog hop. I will be posting it soon.
The challenge this week o the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog is use paper piecing or paper piercing. I have paper pieced the dress on my little girl stamp. This technique is so easy yet delivers some fun and dramatic results. Just stamp your image and color as normal and then stamp it again on patterned paper. Cut out the part you want to pop up from the patterned paper and attach on top of the base image with foam dots. Use this technique on as many parts of the image as you would like.
Supplies I used.
Stamp: My Favorite Thing, Pure Innocent's, You're So Tweet
Jillibean Soup 6x6 paper pad, Blossom Soup
Martha Stewart Double Link Trim Border Punch
My Favorite Things, Rolled Rose die
Magnolia Vintage Mini Red Roses
So get crafting and link your card to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog to be entered in the drawing to win this wonderful $50 Simon Says Stamp Online Store gift certificate!
I love the image and the papers are fantastic! Wonderful work! I am so partial to all things MFT :)
