Paper Piecing

 

I love having dimension on cards, and this mini-bendi card gives LOTS of dimension!  

The main image is a little set called "Besties - Zoey" from CTMH.  I guess the glasses drew me to this set - and I just had to make them red like my own!   


I did paper-piecing on Zoey's top and the cat's bow (yes, that little bow was cut by hand!).  I used the Mix-In papers from the current CTMH catalog for those, as well as the hillside grass.  The hill was cut using one of the Fancy Borders dies.  Another of those border dies was used to create the stencil I used to ink the cloud background.  The flowers are from the Daisy Meadows Scrapbooking stamp/die set.

I am entering this card in the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge - where the challenge was to use paper piecing along with one other mixed media element (the stenciled clouds).   Be sure to pop over to their blog and check out the other creations using paper piecing!

By the way, I did another bendi card earlier this week and created a video with all the details for the style of the card, so if you are interested in creating one of these quick dimensional cards, check this out!

How adorable, Gail! Your sentiment speaks the truth. I like how you paper pieced her smock and the kitty's bow to match. A sweet scene! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
