Spring cannot be far behind! Today I am featuring a new release from DRS Designs. I have used the sentiment:Drink Green Beer (644G)

Paper Piecing Tutorial Willow Shopping




Today I am going to give you step by step directions on how to paper piece.

Supplies:


Cardstock: XpressIt

Copics: (see picture below)Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye Tickled Pink


First I stamped Willow Shopping with black Memento ink.



I then chose my designer paper: Tickled Pink by My Mind's Eye.





I stamped the image again using Memento black ink on two different patterned papers.





Next I cut out just part of the image: in this case it was the shopping bags.







I glued the cut out shopping bags onto my original stamped image.






Repeat the above steps.

















Then I decided I needed a third patterned paper. So I stamped the image once more.


















Here you can see all three different patterns on the shopping bags.





I cut out the tissue paper sticking out of the shopping bas and applied glue.



I colored the rest of the image with copics.

















After I am done coloring my image, I want to incorporate the remaining dp on my card.







I cut out the dp with an oval nestie to layer my focal image.



I add another piece of the dp for my background.



Here are the copics that I used to color my card.



I cut out a flower with more of the dp to add an embellishment.



Here is the final product.
