How adorable is this set!? I decided to do a little paper piecing for my image today. I stamped my little elephant out onto some polka dot paper from Doodlebug then I cut around the image. Next, I found a color in my copic markers that was a litle darker then the paper so I could still add some shading and dimension to my image. Coloring on pattern paper is a little tricky but can be done. It’s thinner so you have to be careful and not add a lot of layers with your markers.
For the cardbase I started with a piece of white cardstock measuing 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2 or A2 size. Then I added a layer using some gray polka patter paper from an old Tickled Pink Paper Pack from C.C. Designs. Next, is another layer of white cardstock that I cut out from the Blueprint 29 die so I had a cute stitched edge. I also cut out a heart from the middle using the Heart die from Pink & Main. I thought about doing a shaker card but found this star pattern paper in my Tinkled Pink Pack and thought it was super cute and loved the colors. So I added that behind my heart window and attached the white stitched edge piece to my gray polka dot. Whew! Not as hard as it all sounds – just a lot of layering.
The sentiment is from the Baby Love stamp set and I heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. Then used a stitched banner die from Make a Card #17 from C.C. Designs to cut out around the sentiment and add to my heart window. I think this all came together so nice and so sweet!
So this is a great way to show you how else you can use your stamps other than coloring in the whole image. Adding pattern paper really gives them some character!
