Well, here is my DT card for the paper-piecing challenge.


For my card I have used papers from an old Kanban kit.  Unfortunately it is no longer in print.  I have started by putting some mirror card onto an 8x8 scalloped blank card.  Then the papers have been cut into four sections and added, a fine marker has been used to add the faux stitching effect.
The digi was printed onto some 'colour me' smooth white card and coloured in pro-markers.  The blouse and the trousers have been made using the piecing effect, and using the papers as shown in the background.  A greeting has been layered onto mirror card.
The flowers are made from stamps and have simply been cut out and layered up. Flourishes and a butterfly made with the mirror card finish off the look.



flower stamps are from a stamp set of Sheena Douglass
