Happy Black Friday everyone! I hope all of you survived and enjoyed your Thanksgiving yesterday! Today is the last Friday of the month which means its my turn to issue a challenge as one of the Challenge Queen's for the Bellaholicsanonymous Yahoo group. Sooooo, this is the challenge: Create a Stamping Bella card or project that uses Paper Piecing. That's it, your card must have something on it that has been paper pieced and for quick step by step, you can follow my first ever mini tutorial.
Step one: Choose your image and paper. I used Stella because she has a larger open area for her dress in order to really show off the designer paper I'm using. Stamp your image onto your white card stock (you can see I started coloring her skin), then stamp your image again onto your desired pattered paper (smaller patterns work best). As you can see I stamped Stella a few times before getting the right flowers for the inside of her dress.
Step three: Color your image (yes I colored Stella's hair purple, after all it's my coloring book and I can even color outside the lines if I wanna, lol).
