Over at Crafty Cardmakers we have a new challenge today, Paper Pricking or Piercing. You can prick/pierce and leave it as just a pricked pattern, or stitch it. We would prefer NOT to see machine stitched creations as these are not really what we are after.
I have used a Mix N Match stencil to prick around my image from our Sponsor, Crafty Sentiments Designs, it is called Little Friends. I then stitched it with some variegated metallic thread. I have coloured it with copics, and am not overly happy with the hair, but as I had stitched all those stitches I was disinclined to fiddle with it too much in case I completely ruined it!
The mats are two different sparkly type papers from my stash. A nice flat card that will go easily, and cheaply in the mail! The butterflys are cut from shimmer papers with Magnolia Doohickey dies.
I am entering this into the following:-

Beautiful, Lin. That's such a sweet image and the stitching frames it beautifully. Love the shimmery mats - that shimmer paper is a favourite of mine and it works beautifully as a butterfly.

ReplyDeleteLin wow !!! This is stunning , this takes paper piecing to a whole new level. I love the metallic thread you used and the image is so pretty and beautifully colored.
ReplyDeleteYou asked me if I made the winged lady wish I was clever enough. It was made by a local sculptor mainly from reclaimed wood but her hands and wings are metal.
