Paper Pieced Easter Card for the Pals

 

It’s Thursday and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! This week’s Color Challenge is a delightful trio of Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip!  Enjoy today’s paper pieced card using this adorable image from the Everybunny stamp set!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:  Paper Piecing

Today’s finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.

  • Piece! First, the “Bunny in Balloon” image was stamped directly onto Whisper White card stock with Jet Black StazOn. Then the balloon portion of the image was inked and stamped onto Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery papers from the Subtles Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack.  The Pretty in Pink balloon and Certainly Celery bands and zigzag were snipped out and positioned as illustrated.  The same process was followed with the Basket portion of the image and Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink pattern papers.  
  • Free-Stylin’! Certainly Celery hills were free-hand cut and the edges were distressed with Always Artichoke ink. 
  • Vellum Clouds! The Clouds from Up, Up and Away were inked with Jet Black StazOn and stamped onto White Vellum paper.  These were snipped out and added to the sky!
  • Bow Down to the Bow! A fabulous Pretty in Pink satin bow adds a sweet finishing touch!
 

Paper Piecing may take a little bit longer, but what dimension it adds to the image!  What do you think? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one.  Of course, I love answering any questions that you may have about the techniques I use and the cards I create! Remember, I am only an email away! Until next time…
