Paper Pieced Something - CHALLENGE

This week's challenge over on the Stamp Something blog is to do Paper Piecing. This is one technique that I just love but don't do often enough. Anytime I see it done I think ... WOW, that looks so amazing.





I didn't know what I wanted to work with today ... then I spotted this little dress that my friend Kris Turner started to cut out (she was practicing paper piecing) last weekend when she & the girls came to play and thought it needed a "home".




I've used two different papers for this creation. My background floral paper is from the SU "Delicate Dot" designer paper pack and the coral floral 2 sided designer paper is from Colorbok "Tracy Porter" 12x12 pack. Of course the Martha Stewart doily lace border punch goes perfectly with this little dress image from Serendipity. The sentiment stamp is by Outlines Rubber Stamps and I've used a ZIG Island Coral marker for the bordering color. My vintage buttons are from Bucket O'Buttons and I've used Michaels gold thread for the centers. The faux stitching was created using a Creative Memories fine tip black marker and a metal ruler.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you find inspiration in my work ... I know I certainly find inspiration from all of you!!!
