Paper Piecing Technique
for my Guest Design spot at
Made Especially For You.
The Cutting Cafe provided the
digi image of girl holding a
balloon.
Printed the girl digi image on
several pieces of cardstock and
cut out and attached the pieces
to the base. Used bright blue for
base of girl image to be like sky.
I do not have a flesh color pencil
color or marker so I used the idea
of printing onto flesh color paper
and cutting out and attaching over
the previous image.
The sketch to be used is:
Join in the challenge. I'll post the
link for challenge soon.

I never thought about using colored cardstock if I didn't have the right color marker!!! Brilliant... Love your fun card!! That little girl is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog, you helped me very much! It worked!!!!!
I'm still learning to color, yes I know how to use crayons but markers, chalk & such are so different so use of colored cardstock does the trick and have used the use of flesh tone cardstock many times so I keep buying the flesh cardstock for this purpose. You're welcome Naomi on the comment about helping you with the date change on an entry. If anyone else finds that they have a blog post that blogger put a different date for it and you want to correct it please contact me & I'll step you thru how to change it back to the date you want it to be.
