Today’ hop list!
Kittie CaraccioloYou are here
My project today was made using Alesa Baker’s Rosie the Love Angel paired with the Love Border, Heart Set, Mini Heart Row and Spiral Flowers.
I thought Rosie would be the perfect image to paper piece and I had lots of fun with the project. I always have to sit and look at an image a few minutes to figure out how many times I need to stamp the it for paper piecing. Paper Piecing requires lots of fussy cutting but I think it is worth the effort. I definitely needed to stamp her on watercolor paper so I could paint all the skin and hair portions that show. I stamped the complete dress once on designer paper, cut it out and attached to the base. I stamped the top portion and arms a second time, cut it out and layered over top the dress base. I had to color and cut a second pair of hands to fit in the sleeves. I used the wings portion of the base image as a template to sketch out the lines on vellum, cut it out, covered it with glossy accents and glitter. I cut the wings off the base and attached the vellum wings with rolled glue dots. I stamped the sash on white cardstock and watercolored lightly with antique linen ink to take away the stark white appearance cut it out and attached to the dress base. I tucked the small die cut heart into the hands and attached with glossy accents.
I used three different sections of the spiral flowers die set to create the layered rose. I wanted it to be large enough to cover the stamped rose and to create dimension. Here’s a closer view.
I cut the love sentiment border and then cut the mini heart row and attached to the white card base with mounting tape. I attached Rosie with mounting tape for one last layer of dimension. I love how this card turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the hop.
