AEI♥U Challenge – Paper Piecing


Hi, I am playing in the AEI♥U Challenge - the theme is Paper Piecing.


I pulled out one of my favorite Avery Elle sets - Rounded Diamonds and stamped on patterned paper, cutting out the same stamp at different sizes - the largest petals are the entire stamp. I just love the patterns you can create with this stamp! The sentiment is also by Avery Elle - All Squared Up


I mounted the outer parts of the petals with foam tape, gluing the inner parts to the card stock. That gives it some outward dimension, although you can not see this in the picture. Punched a little circle from the red paper and added it for balance.
I like how this turned out!

Challenge 20

Happy stamping my friends!

Was für eine tolle Idee, das Set schlummert auch in meinem Keller, dass muss wohl dringend entstaubt werden.
