The wrong trousers

Hmmm, so the wrong trousers! Just Magnolia have challenged us this week to do some paper piecing.


Magnolia image, paper and card scraps, copics

It was going so well until I got to the trousers! I thought I had some grey fine stripey paper and I can't find it, nor can I find any in my download collection so I went with spots. Ooops. I might look a bit harder and amend this! But not today as I'm far too tired and need to go and have 40 winks, my eyes are watering.

You can see I paper pieced all the spotty bits and then shaded the rest with Copics. All the bits of paper, including the scallop strip are scraps. The large spotty card is the backing card from the packaging of some Prima gems, that came in handy.

  7. Both the card and your commentary made me smile. The title did it for a start.. very clever. The card is great. I haven't got around to trying to do one for the Magnolia challenge this week.
    Hope the hay fever improves!
