Playing In the Rain

Hi again!  Have you had a good day?  I managed a little crafting time today, so I am back to share the card I made for a few challenges I like to do.  It's for the Little Miss Muffet Challenge #33 (April showers), Sweet Sketch Wednesday #150 and Through The Craftroom Door Challenge #24 (show a favorite technique).

Here is SSW-150:


Here is my card for the challenges:


I started with a card base of GKD Lipstick Red and layered with two patterned papers from the Niki Sivils It's Raining, It's Pouring Collection.  My adorable image is Paprika from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  She is only available as a rubber stamp now, but I had her as a digi.  My technique for the TTCRD challenge is paper-piecing.  I printed Paprika three times, once on Cryogen White and once each on two more papers from the same collection. I colored her hair, face and hands with Copics, then paper-pieced the rest from the two extra images.  Not sure what I was thinking when I decided to cut out each tiny button on her coat - lol! Some stitched ribbon, a crocheted flower and a button from my stash finished off my card.  

Thanks for stopping by again.  I'll be out the rest of the evening, but hope to see you tomorrow for the Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz!

  18. Great job paper piecing--and you did a fab job on those little bitty buttons! :) Love the crocheted flower and button. I'd never have thought to use a baby blue ribbon, but seeing it here, anything else wouldn't have been nearly as nice. I love this card!
