Embellish Magazine Color Challenge Using Paper Piecing

Hi Everyone-

With having time off to dedicate to my crafts, I am glad I have challenges like this one from Embellish Magazine to keep my creative juices flowing. This challenge used the colors listed above and a technique called paper piecing. Paper piecing is basically putting different paper pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle. The flower on my card is a great example of paper piecing. Unfortunately, I did not write down any of the supplies which were used. I can definitely credit Cricut with the use of their Home Decor cartridge.

Till next time,

Embellish Magazine Color Challenge Using Squares

Hi Everyone -

Part of being a successful crafter is sharing ideas and talents on the web with other artists. I follow several other bloggers who scrapbook and make cards. One of the blogs I follow is Sarah's Scrap Shack. Funny thing is, Sarah and I used to work together in our teens and we have reconnected through the magical world of Facebook.

Sarah's work is gorgeous! I noted during reading her blog, she submits her projects to other blogs. I thought, I should do that!!! What a fun thing to do while I am off work?

Soooo, my first piece I am submitting is for Embellish Magazine's blog. I have quickly fallen in love with Embellish's blog. I am pretty sure once I am working again, I will sign up for their online publication.

The challenge for this entry was to use squares and the colors purple, green, and black.

With Halloween is coming up, what a perfect inspiration for a card.

Supplies Used:

Paper - K&C Co, SEI, The Paper Co

Cricut- George and Basic Shapes, Stretch Your Imagination

Ink-Hampton Art Stamps, Color Box

Pens- Jelly Roll

Pizazz- Stickles

Thank you Sarah, for introducing me to Embellish Magazine and other blog's which run challenges. I feel my creative juices flowing!

Till next time,

Mrs. Harty
