Gorjuss Paper Piecing xx

Well hello my lovely crafters

Hello to Friday again, time for another wee post for Clare Curd Crafts and this week I have gone with an oldie but a goody for you all

Using another of my Gorjuss Girl stamps I decided to do a little paper piecing. I haven't done this for ages and for got how simple it was and how much fun.

Firstly I made a simple layout on my card blank with my American Crafts Shoreline papers and some ribbon from my stash. I also outlined all the papers with a red alcohol marker

I then stamped out my lovely little Puddles of love stamp onto some more of the pattern papers and my white cardstock. I then cut out the different parts I wanted in pattern paper

After colouring my image with alcohol markers I then paper pieced the pieces into place. You can see below I paper pieced the jacket, umbrella and boots

Next I cut out the image leaving a tiny small white border before adding foam pads to the back and sticking down on the card. Lastly I added a little sentiment and some embellishments I had in my stash

and thats it finished!!

A really quick simple card that brings all your beautiful papers together

Well thats me TTFN
