Welcome to another CSS Alumni Blog Hop. This time we are having fun with one of my favorite techniques, paper piecing. If you are following along from the beginning, you just came from
Karen's blog and I know she wowed your socks off. If not, then you really need to start from the beginning at
StampTV.com.
So on with my project. I paper pieced the oval label from
Versatile Verses. Fun huh?
All pattern papers are from Basic Grey's Green at Heart collection. I used some Kraft and White card stock and some fun home made flowers. I made the green flower from felt using a tutorial I found in a magazine. If you would like me to show you how, let me know in the comments and I will post something in the next few days. My mom crocheted the beautiful pink flower for me. Topped it off with a button and added some ribbon to the card. And there it is.
Now hop on over to
Miesje's blog to see what she has to share. And feel free to play along and post your creation over at
StampTV. We love to see what you paper piece.
