Hi! Time for Julia’s WT challenge at Splitcoast! Today’s challenge is to use your scissors. I know this will come as a shock to some of you 😉 but the first thing I thought of was paper-piecing. I used the Once Upon a Time set by Lizzie Anne Designs.
Happy Birthday, Princess!
Lots of cutting here! First I stamped the castle onto the white paper, then I stamped it again onto the shimmery pink paper. I cut it from the pink paper and adhered it to the white paper using pop dots. I cut out the tiny flags and attached them.
Next I stamped the girl twice onto white paper (not the big white piece you see here) and once more onto the pink. One of the white images I cut out and colored (raised on pop dots) and the other white image was just for her arms (which I cut out as one piece). The ‘arms’ piece had to be cut separately because the hands are over the dress but I wanted the top of her arms tucked under the sleeve poofs. Clear as mud?
When I adhered the dress to the girl, I rolled a pop dot to place under each sleeve. The rolled dot gave those parts the perfect amount of lift.
I cut out the hat from the pink paper (even the strings…I know–insane) and raised it on a pop dot as well.
Thanks for looking at my crazy scissor/paper-pieced card, and I hope you have a great day!
