Happy Sunday all!
I hope you're all having a great weekend!
Did you see lot's of fireworks last night? I hope you stayed safe!
It's time for a new challenge at The Crafty Pad!
This week the theme for Challenge #146 is Paper Piecing!
Now,I must say I have never tried this before & I found it a bit of a challenge!
However, once I'd figured it out I had a whole lot of fun with it!
You can find a useful tutorial on Paper Piecing on The Crafty Pad blog here!
Here's my card!
The DT were given Sammy Scarecrow to work with this week!
He's such a cutie isn't he!!!
Reminds me of a few years back when we all dressed up
as characters from The Wizard of Oz! I was the Scarecrow!
We raised lots of money that year for Children in Need!
You can get him here for just 99p. A fantastic bargain!!!
Forgot to tell you who our sponsors are this week!
Yep, I said sponsors!!!!
We have a set of Grey Promarkers from Letraset
&
we have a Prize from Crafty Ribbons too!
For the design of my card,
I used the sketch from Midnight Madness #128
I used a sheet of brown textured cardstock to make my 5"x5" card base.
The papers I have used are all from my stash.
I distressed the edges of all the layers using a pair of scissors!
The image was mainly paper pieced,
the rest was coloured with Promarkers & the background chalked in.
The flowers & leaves were all punched from scraps of the papers I used.
I hope you like my little card!
Now hop on over to the challenge blog to see what lovely creations
the other ladies of the DT have come up with.
I hope you are inspired & have the time to come & play in our
Paper Piecing Challenge this week!
I must apologise for the quality of my photos, I just can't get any in
daylight now as I'm at work all day!
I have asked Santa for a pop up tent though & I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Awww this card is so gorgeous Dawn. It reminds me of being the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz" in Primary 7, lol. "I could while away the hours, conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain. Whilst my head I'd be thinking, I could be another Linkin....if I only had a brain", heehee...theres a wee bit of the song I had to sing too....at least I think they were the words...ahhh....if I only had a brain, lol!! Love the colours youve used Dawn, its a gorgeous card. Lee x
