Just Us Girls #391 - Wild Card Week

Hello Crafters! Judy here, and I'm your host this week for WILD CARD!! It's the fifth Saturday of the month, and we are going wild about PAPER PIECING!!! For the paper piecing technique you stamp your image on plain paper and then stamp again on patterned paper. After that you fussy cut out the parts of patterned paper you want to piece. See the examples below for a better explanation.

Just look at what our Guest Designer Laurie has done with this technique.

Chic of the Week #389



A Big Thank You to those that joined in our

Colour Challenge this week.
So many lovely pastel coloured cards to impress.

It is always a hard task narrowing them down to just the one
but that is what I must do so
Honours this week go to Sandie Munro.



I loved the simplicity of this card and sentiment 
matched the spring colours nicely.
Congratulations Sandie
