I'm hoping to have most of my Christmas cards done before Christmas this year, so instead of mass producing, I'll send out the cards I've accumulated throughout the year.
I thought I would play along with the paper piecing challenge at A Blog Named Hero this week and knock a Christmas card out in the process.
There's really only a little bit of piecing here, but a lot of fussy cutting.
The owl was stamped with Versafine and the hat was pieced. It was a little tricky because I wanted the black outlines to show, so I had to adjust a couple times, shaving the piece back slowly until it was just the right shape to fit in the lines. I did have a hard time finding the right shade of red. What I ended up doing was using a Faber Castell Stamper's Big Brush Pen.
The sentiment word bubble was fussy cut and I used Spectrum Noir markers to add some shading/highlights to both the owl and word bubble.
The papers are from the Magical and 25th and Pine collections and the little shadow spot is from an A Muse set.
That's all for today. Hope your week is going well!
