I paper pieced this little party girl's dress and then fussy cut her out. It's a delicate job cutting this image out because she is so skinny - some of the parts are so small I worry that I'm going to chop off a body part! But she looks good when it's all done.
At Challenge Up Your Life they are looking for sequins so I filled my shaker up with some colorful ones.
The Freshly Made Sketches design team has made some beauties this week so make sure you head on over there to check them out. I hope you can join us in the gallery!
I forgot to mention last week that I made a little field trip to Albany New York a couple of Saturday's ago. My FMS teamie Jen Timko had a layover in Albany and it just so happens that Linda lives about an hour away and I live about 3 1/2 hours away so we all got to see each other for a bit. It was the second time that I met Linda and the first time that I met Jen. We had a lot of laughs. Here we are trying to figure out my new selfie stick!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is a fabulous take on the sketch! And that's some pretty fabulous fussy cutting, too! I can totally relate about cutting bits off :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great group of ladies!! Clearly the fun times got you feeling festive with your champagne shaker!! She was worth fussy cutting - and so perfect with the shaker.

I think this card is just AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card Jen! I love that shaker box! I need to start making those back more often! Love your colouring and that sentiment! I think we'll have to plan a meet up soon!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Jen! This card is so fabulous! The details are amazing! The paper-piecing and fussy-cutting is intimidating, but the results are awesome. Pairing this with a shaker window makes it even more fun. You are an amazingly creative designer!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that you cut this out. I'd totally have cut something critical. Adorable card and the shaker is perfect for this image!!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for making the drive over. I'm so grateful to you and Linda!
I love the paper-piecing on this. And your surgical cutting skills are quite impressive. Fab card, Jen!
