Pink Gem #60 - Paper Piecing

It's time for another Gem of A Challenge featuring the fabulous designs from Janet at Pink Gem Designs
This week we have a one of my favorite challenges as we want you to get cutting and use the Paper Piecing technique on your card.

Card Recipe:
Image - Winter Chloe
Medium- Copic Markers
Paper- Holly Jolly by The Paper Studio
Die Cut- Spellbinders
Border Punch- Snowflake by Martha Stewart
Ribbon- Michaels
Button Brads- The Paper Studio
Snowflakes- Unknown
Twine- The Twinery
Rhinestones - Michaels






Although it can be a little fiddly I really love this technique and it adds a completely different look to your creations. I paper pieced the shoes, pants, sweater, scarf and headband and just filled in with my Copics.
I hope you liked it and will come over and share with us at Gem of A Challenge
