Hey there! I'm on the
Paper Issues blog today sharing my project for the
Sewing Bee challenge. I went bright and colorful for this one. Shocker, I know. Want another shocker? I love to sew on my pages!
I'm always looking for different ways to add stitching. Today I cut the
Concentric Dotty Circles cut file, sewing with a long vertical stitch. I chose to stitch each ring in a color that matched the
Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection. It's so pretty!!! Pink and blue and aqua and orange! And flowers! I love, love love how this turned out.
I used the reverse side of the
Sprinkles paper, laid the stitched circles over it. VoilĂ , a beautiful center piece for my page. I layered several
Ephemera die cuts and
6x12 Accessory Stickers . Oh and I used frame! Haha another shocker! Again, trying something a little different, I tore some of the
Expressive paper tucking it under the circle in the same places as the embellishment clusters. I tore the background paper and tucked some under there too! I even snuck in a few splatters with the Vicki Boutin watercolor markers, Those things are fun!
This is a photo of my sister and I taken at our cousin's wedding several years ago. It's not often we are together and dressed up! I wanted to make something pretty for such a special photo.
