Everyone at work is tired and we're at the point where you feel like you're trying to wade through treacle every day. I feel like I could sleep for a week but at the same time I'm struggling to wind down when I'm home. But now I've discovered that paper piecing is the most relaxing form of crafting ever... no fussing over toning colours, no bleeding of ink, just stamp onto different sheets from a paper pad, cut out and stick!
Of course, it helped hugely that I chose this sweet image to paper piece, so there was no fiddly cutting out either! I stamped onto Maja Life by the Sea papers and also onto a die cut square of Neenah cardstock. I mixed and matched the cut-out sections of the image and stuck them down, adding a pale blue star-shaped brad in the stamped star on the sail.
All I had left to do was mount the image onto a square of Bazzill and stick the lot onto my card base. Simples!
So what made me paper-piece this card? Well, paper piecing is the challenge theme at Sweet Stampin' this week. So bring your stamps, paper and glue and come over and play! We're being sponsored by Stamp and Create, so there's a fabby prize of a $20 voucher for one lucky winner!
Enjoy your Saturday!
