WOJ paper piecing/ YNS36/ Creative Belli- felt

12:01 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I want to apologize in advance for the lack of details on my creations...I don't want to let my design teams down but I am quite ill right now with the flu as is the rest of my family so this will be short and sweet. If I am feeling a bit better in the a.m., I will come back and add more details for you. Sorry!

Today I would like to share 2 creations for 3 different challenges and teams.

Being a Wednesday...it is time for a new Creative Belli, Your Next Stamp, and Whiff of Joy Challenge creation!!

The first creation I made is for the Whiff Of Joy challenge which is to paper piece on your creation. I used the darling Willow from the Blooming Spring Kit. I colored her in with copics but paper pieced her dress, apron, bow and some of the leaves. Some of the papers used were scraps and others were from the Kaiser Kraft English Rose pad and the K&Co. Julianne. Most of the paper is embossed. The ribbon is silk from May Arts. The flowers are primas that I ripped and took apart to create new flowers. The tag is created with the Labels 17 die from Spellbinders. The lace is recycled from packaging I received as a bow or ribbon on a gift.

For more inspiration for the Whiff of Joy Challenge with the "Paper piecing" theme, please visit my dt sisters:

Anne , Chelsea, Gio, Jane, Kathrin, Kylie, Louise, Manuela. Michele

The next creation I made was for the Your Next Stamp and Creative Belli challenge. The Your Next Stamp challenge is also Paper Piecing. The Creative Belli challenge is to use felt on your creation (if you don't have felt, you may use material).

I used the darling Flower Bouquet Fhiona from Your next stamp and paper pieced her with some old SU dp I have hoarded...Belle...( I am drawing a blank on the name...sorry). The felt flower is also from SU. The tag is punched out with SU tag punches. The bow is May Arts Silk ribbon. The box itself is using the Be Mine template designed by Leigh Ann Baird available at Perfect Presentations.
