Busy Bee!!

Well the sunshine seems to be making more of an appearance these past couple of weeks. And with the lovely weather comes longer working hours. I am now so busy with work, my crafting has had to take a back seat. As a result, this may be my last post for a little while. So here we go...
This week at Here Come The Boys is challenge #51 - Paper Piecing. Having never done this before, I was looking forward to trying something new. And I have to say, I absolutely loved doing this challenge. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I made two cards!!! So here they are.

 For this one, I used 'Fab George' from the Molly Bloom collection. I coloured him with my Polychromo's and decided to paper-piece his dungarees and cap with a spotty paper. I even gave him a little bit of sunburn on his shoulders (clever me!!).

I edged George with my distress inks and matted and layered him onto some bright card and managed to dig out a star button from a long ago craft show.

I used 'Summertime Fun George' for this more neutral second card. I paper-pieced his t-shirt, shorts and cap with blue spotty paper and coloured the rest of him with my Polychromo's. I backed him onto a nautical style paper and made some little corners which I edged with my pens.

Again, I edged him with distress inks and matted and layered him onto cardstock. 

And then I popped a little sentiment on to finish it off.
