PAPER PIECING
Now I do have to admit this was quite a challenge for me, I love the effect of paper piecing but am not great at it and this card turned into a bit of an epic!! I couldn't find a suitable stamp in my collection, 2 attempts with LOTV stamps hit the bin so I resorted to looking for a masculine but non - character digi stamp. After a quick search I bought this fab camper van stamp by Lilyboo designs at Cuddly Bubbly.
The printer behaved itself even on the quite thick orange card, last time I fed card through it jammed big style so I was beginning to feel much happier. Should have known better because the new embossing folder turned out to be a bit fierce, my paper came out of the Cuttlebug way more distressed than anticipated, in fact one swirl fell out like a die cut! Still not to be defeated I decided to really go for the distressed look and took a paper edger to everything in sight. Again not something I'd normally do, perhaps it was the frustration or just going for an extra challenge LOL!!
Here's a closer look at the end result, not my normal style but it is growing on me!!
