umbrella days – using designer series paper in piece work
Crafting is such a satisfying past-time no matter what craft you love. I love stamping, paper-crafting and scrapbooking but others like sewing, painting or quilting to name a few… Although I have never quilted I have friends and customers that do and this technique today reminds me of quilting’s piecework practice!
Therefore I named it Paper Piecework technique I have seen it done before and I am sure other’s call it by different names but this is what it reminds me of creating a quilt from piecing different bits of cloth together is very similar to creating an image out of Designer Series Paper and other bits of paper!
This is today’s tutorial and card – I hope you enjoy it!
