If you haven't caught on yet...I adore paper piecing !!
Little Claire Dinkies are fab for this technique, just makes them MORE super cute !!
For my first card I have used "Balancing Act"
Cut loads of small squares of matching papers to make my background and loads more faux stitching. Did I mention I adore faux stitching !!....Then paper pieced my Balancing Act with the same papers.
For the second card I have used "Branch Owls"
This time I made a moon background with blue distress ink and then stamped my owls on top and paper pieced and yes more faux stitching !!
Both my cards are 5" x 5" which is a nice size to work with.
Go on..why not give paper piecing a go, it's very relaxing and your sure to find a Little Claire stamp you'll love !!
