Practice Makes Perfect

Hi everyone!  I’m super excited to be the Guest Designer this week on the Paper Sundaes blog!   (Thank you SO much for having me!)  🙂

This week’s sponsor is My Favorite Things and they will be giving away a $25 gift voucher to one random (and lucky!) participant!

This week’s challenge, which runs until Saturday night, is to paper-piece.  As most of you know, paper-piecing is one of my all-time favorite techniques so I was doubly excited to have been asked to guest.  🙂

For my card today, I used Ice Princess from My Favorite Things‘ Pure Innocence collection.

I pieced the dress then stamped the skirt portion a second time, cut it out and glued just the top edge, placing a couple of foam boosters beneath the bottom edge for a little 3-d lift.  Her tights were pieced as well.

I die-cut a handful of Mini Rolled Roses and leaves from Flower & Leaf Trio Die-namics.  I also tucked a strip of Small Scallop Border along each side of the center panel.

I finished the inside simply, using scraps of the patterned paper and two more Small Scallop Borders.

You can find all details for this week’s Paper Sundaes challenge HERE.  I hope you’ll play along!  🙂

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
