Paper Pieced- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.

I have another fun challenge for you to try out at 

The Flower Challenge.

This month our theme is:

I haven't paper pieced for a very long time so it was fun to see what I could come up with.

I looked through my inked pieces that I had on hand and found one that had a lot of  'Spring-like' colours in it.  I had made the inked paper by dropping Ranger Alcohol inks onto Yupo paper. 

I like to make a few at a time so I can set them aside for future use on my cards.

I stamped this lovely flower called Awaken from Penny Black onto a piece of heavy white cardstock using black Memento ink and my Misti.

I stamped the flowers again onto a piece of Yupo paper but this time with Versamark and then I white heat  embossed the flowers. 

*when embossing with Yupo paper, but sure and keep you heat gun moving or your paper will totally warp*

While the embossed flowers cooled, I coloured the flower stems with my Zig markers.

I fussy cut out the flowers and glued them over the top of the stamped image on my card front.

I stamped the sentiment using my Misti then sponged the edges with Distress inks and splattered with some water to lift some of the ink.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will check out the challenge and come and see what the talented designers have created!
