Paper Piecing Fun!

This week's La-La Land Crafts's Wednesday Challenge is paper piecing.  I love paper piecing.  Takes me back to when I was a little girl and was into paper dolls.  I liked cutting out all the outfits and placing them on the dolls and role playing. :)

Below is my card with Sweet La-La


Brown and red cardstock is from Bazzil.  The designer paper is from Basic Grey, which I used on Sweet La-La's background, her dress and the flowers cut out on the bottom of the card.  The red cardstock was embossed with my Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder.  The border on the bottom of the card was punched out, using my Martha Stewart scallop punch.  The red and brown ribbon is from May Arts.  The corners were punched with my EK Success punch.  Sweet La-La's background was cut out using my Nestabilities large circle and large circle scallop die-cuts.

Sweet La-La was colored using the following Copic colors:

E00, E33, E35, R20, RV34, R35, E39

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Hello Alicia. Your card is delightful. Such a fab image and the colours are just perfect.
You have brought back happy memories, as I too used to play with the paper dolls and loved cutting out the outfits, great fun. Those were the days, happy times. Happy crafting Alicia.
Love Sandra xx
