I created this card for last weeks My Favorite Things sketch challenge as well as one of the VSN mini challenges. The challenge was to paper piece an image and have at least two parts of the image paper pieced.
I chose the Pure Innocence stamp Being Cute is What I do. I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Express It! Blending Card and cut and embossed with Label 8 Nestabilities. The image was stamped three times on Pink Paislee 365 degree paper. Once for the shirt, once for the pants and once for the rose on the shirt.
The main image as well as the paper pieces were colored with Copic Markers (Shirt: Y35, Y38, R27, Rose: R27, R39, pants: BG10, BG11, Hair: E35, E25, E29, Grass: YG25, YG17, Skin: E0000, E00, E01), a border was doodled on the edge of the cardstock, the paper pieces adhered to the main image and the background airbrushed with Copic Marker BG01.
A 1″ x 3 1/8″ piece of 365 Degree paper was adhered over a 3 1/8″ x 4 1/4″ piece from the same paper pack. The paper was adhered to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Canyon Brown cardstock. the edges were paper pierced and Webster’s Pages trim was adhered over the horizontal strip. The image was adhered over it with dimensionals.
Clouds were cut with the Cloud Die-namics die. The edges were colored with Copic Marker BG. The medium sized cloud was used to hold the sentiment from the same stamp set. The medium and small cloud were attached to the image layers with dimensionals.
A 1 3/4″ x 3 15/16″ piece of 365 Degree paper was adhered to a 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″ piece of Kraft cardstock. Lace was adhered over the horizontal layer and a border was sewn to the edges of the layer. The layers were adhered to the Canyon Brown cardbase, which was a created out of a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece. The image layer was adhered to the card base with dimensionals.
For the inside of the card a 1″ x 3 15/16″ piece of the patterned paper was stitched to a 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″ piece of Kraft cardstock. A border was stitched around the edges. Another sentiment from the stamp set was stamped to the largest of the clouds and adhered to the inside of the card with dimensionals.
