The theme for the current Allsorts Challenge has been chosen by Lynne and is **Paper Piecing** with as usual the option of *Anything Goes*. Prize this time is a voucher to spend at Personal Impressions. They stock a wide range of crafty goodies.
I really like this style of paper piecing and ended up making two cards because I was unable to choose between the two stamp sets which I pulled out as being suitable for this technique.. In both cases the images were stamped onto the backgrounds and then again onto some Gelli prints using archival ink. The Gelli print ones were carefully fussy cut using scissors and then adhered (paper pieced) in place to match parts of the stamping.

Two amazing cards Val, I love the images, soft colours and vintage look you have achieved. I’ve never tried stamping onto a gel print background for paper piecing but I’m now thinking I need to have a go! xx
ReplyDeleteThey both are so beautiful but I especially love those gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
ReplyDeleteThe images on both really stand out!
Two wonderful cards with a vintage feel. Great idea to use a gelli print to paper piece.
