My "P" word is paper-piecing, a technique where an image, or part of an image, is stamped on patterned paper, fussy cut, and then adhered to a base image. In my case, I paper pieced Mr. Snowflake's hat, scarf and mittens with a scrap of plaid paper. I think it gives him a bit of country charm.

ReplyDeleteI really like the combination of plaid papers you have used and his matching hat, gloves and little neckerchief are very smart indeed. Got to be the best dressed snowman in town.
ReplyDeletePitter patter is the weather outside today. So no need to feel guilty while I craft inside!
ReplyDeleteThe plaid is a perfect look on your card Beccy.
Oh , wat zie ik nu toch , Een rokende sneeuwpop.

I still don't know how to do paper-piecing, but I love your card.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he a fashionista!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, I love all the plaid. I’m just home from a holiday in Norway, searching for the Northern Lights….. with no success. 😞 Perhaps we should try searching for the Southern Lights next time and also spot a “P”enguin or two. I’ve got a lot of Holiday Cards Challenge letters to catch up with, so back in my craft room in the morning. xx
