Lily Lemon
Saturday, September 08, 2012Hellooo! It's time for a new Kraftin Kimmie challenge! This week was a little different for me...paper piecing! And I must say I did play it safe as it was my first real time doing it :)
I chose to use Lily Lemon and I paper pieced her dress in a soft aqua print (same as the backing paper) from Bearly Mine Designs (it was a freebie!! they have great freebies over there if you haven't checked them out :). I printed the digi paper out on my Make it Colorful blending card, stamped my kk image over the top, and then coloured my pleats.
Can you tell I got my new goodies?? YAY! I am in love with all of the new prima stuff!!!
Here are the copic colours I used on her:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E43, E47, E49
Dress: BG000, BG13, BG49
Pink Sash: R20, R22, R27
I would love to see your paper piecing creations over at the Kraftin Kimmie blog! :) Hope I have inspired you to play along!!

Hi Alyce,
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it's soon the end of the month and it's not until now I've managed to come over here and comment on your challenge entry. Shame on me, but as you know it's been a busy month... Stunning card and colouring as always and I also love those Prima embellishments. Haven't had a chance to use them yet though as I'm currently in a X-mas card phase. Hopefully soon...
Thanks for entering the LLC challenge; please note we have a max 10 challenges rule.
Hugz,
Sandy
Gorgeous card, Alyce! Love, love, love your coloring.
