Patchwork

The Paperartsy challenge is asking for paperpiecing... and I really enjoyed Keren Bakers post where she used different patchwork effects. I decided to go for squares :)



I started with an inky underpaper, these are spritzes and splatters of Brushos. There is a 1cm x 1cm grid on the paper, and I planned to maybe do 2x2 or 3x3 squares... but my card base needed a 11cm x 16 cm panel, and that just wouldn't turn into larger than 1x1 squares! I tried to be picky and choose my favourite little squares and started cutting them out. I cut a suitable panel from a neat piece of the same grid paper and glued the little squares on. To made it more like patchwork than mosaic I sewed over all the "seams" cutting the threads every time, because I wanted them to show. Once the panel was done I adhered it with double sided tape and sewed around the edges. I can almost not believe I managed a card without stamping, but somehow the diecut seemed better than a sentiment strip.

  1. Tämähän on aivan mahtava! Minäkin olen ommellut vastaavaa paperitilkkutäkkiä, mutten sentään noin minimaalisia palasia. Tämä on niin paljon värikkäämpi kuin alkuperäispaperi, itsekin huomasin silloin saman efektin. Tykkään tosi paljon!
