A little Paper Piecing.

One of my favourite images, I have used it on different projects, but I think this is by far my favourite.  A Day for Daisies image called, "Ducks in A Row".  This time I have paper pieced the image.

First I printed the image on  6 different designer papers.  I then fussy cut the little ducks and eggs from the different papers.  I coloured the flower centres with a copic pen and then covered them in yellow kindy glitter. I also used copic to highlight the grass and added a sentiment.

Lastly, I cut around the whole image and used it for a border inside the card.

I was lucky to be given three new images to create my cards.  Bride; Groom

 and Cupcake with Flower.

First one is a stepcard where I have used the Bride and Groom on the one card, colouring them with Copic pens, fussy cut and layered onto diecuts.  I have added bows, flowers and designer paper to complete the card.

The next one is a shaped card.  I coloured the Cupcake with Flower with Copic Pens and fussy cut.  Using double sided designer paper I traced an outline of the cake and cut.  Make the fold in the card so that the front was going to be shorter than the back.  Added a bow to complete the card.  The photos show the card way better than AI have described what I have done.

Crafters Cafe Challenge #120 - Anything Goes - 10th June, 2015

Two great sponsors this week

A & T Digital Designs

AND 

Melonheadz Illustrations

I received Beehive from A&T for my card this week, this is a kit which contains digital papers, the beehive and ticket sentiment are digital images.

To create this card, I used 4 of the papers to create the patterned background digitally.  I added the image to the background, enlarging the bees and giving them a shadow, I also added the ticket sentiment to the background.  Then printed onto linen paper.

I then printed and hand coloured the beehive, fussy cut and layered onto the background with 3d squares.  I coloured the bees on the background with a copic pen.

For the inside I used the same patterned background, but this time put the ticket without the sentiment into the centre, again adding some more bees with shadows.  Once printed, I coloured the bees.  All placed onto  Kraftcard.

But wait there is more!  I placed the second image on the back of the card.  CAS back and front.
