Paper pieced roses

I don't often stamp onto patterned paper because colouring the images in can be rather hit and miss, with the background changing the colour that you use. However when you "colour" the images by paper piecing, that isn't an issue.


I made this card entirely from snippets of patterned paper, stamping the lovely rose-and-butterfly image onto all except the larger piece of orange, which I used for matting. Uning the text print as the background layer, I then cut out all the elements from the appropriate coloured papers and attached them, the larger pieces with Sticki dots and the more delicate ones with a Quickie glue pen. Incidentally I don't think I'd realised what detailed fussy cutting I'd let myself in for when I chose to paper piece this - some of that greenery was pretty challenging.

I am sharing this with

    Gorgeous card, your fussy cutting is amazing, especially on the leaves of those lovely flowers.
    The Paper Piecing technique allows us to use all of those hoarded pieces of pattern paper we don't know what to do with.
    Thank you for sharing with us at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, we hope you come and play again soon.
    Hugs.
