Paper Piecing at Our Creative Corner

A huge big "thank you" to everyone who stopped by my blog in the past few days and left such heart-warming comments ... my heart swells with gratitude and I appreciate each and every one of you! Thank so very much!!!

Onto our new challenge at Our Creative Corner, this week Vicki Burdick is our lovely hostess and we are also delighted to have Sabrina Radeck of Aspiring to Creativity as our Guest Designer this week. Sabrina has got some serious talent, so be sure to pop by and say "Hi".

This is Vicki's challenge for us:

Paper Piecing, Use some kind of paper piecing on your card or project this week. Stamp something and use some Designer Paper to piece an element of the stamp or paper piece you Background.
I was excited to have a go at this challenge, cos I had never done paper piecing before, so I scrambled through my stamps and came up with this card:

After I had paper pieced Winter Marci's outfit, I felt that she looked kinda flat .... so as you can see, I used my copics and added some shading to her coat and hat.

I thought that I'd keep this card fairly simple and I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, cos it's a great sketch this week!

I hope that you'll join in the paper piecing fun this week at Our Creative Corner, I would love to see what you come up with ... but in the meantime, pop by and check out some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team.

Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by!
