I am stopping by today with a card I made for the current Less Is More Week 56 Challenge: Don't Scrap It. We are challenged to use some of those left over bits and pieces we all tend to keep...mine are in a drawer in a set of plastic storage drawers.
I recently bought this cute For You Gifts stamp from the new 2012 Hero Arts catalog and couldn't wait to play with it. I stamped the image onto white card stock, then stamped it repeatedly onto various pieces of scrap paper from the drawer.
Next, I cut out the various elements (boxes, dress, shoes) and colored
the remaining sections of the image before adhering the paper pieces.
Here they are glued on...
Finally, in an effort to keep it clean and simple, I adhered the image to a white embossed card base and rounded the corners.
I had some extra cut-outs that I will keep in a little baggie for future paper-piecing with this stamp. What a great way to use up my scraps! Lots of fussy cutting, but a nice stress relief after a busy day!
As always, thanks for stopping by. Hope to visit you soon!
