Day 18 - "P"

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.


YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project using the letter "P" as your prompt.

I 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.

Pitter patter is the weather outside today. So no need to feel guilty while I craft inside!
The plaid is a perfect look on your card Beccy.

Oh , wat zie ik nu toch , Een rokende sneeuwpop.
Dat is niet zo gezond.
Als hij maar niet smelt met de warme pijp.

Great 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

Mr Snowflake looks handsome with his plaid hat, scarf and mittens. And smoking a pipe nowadays??? I hope it is permitted at his place. Love how you used the various plaid papers.

Fantastic paper piecing, Beccy! That's always been one of my favorite techniques and I haven't used it in quite a while. Thanks for the inspiration to dig out the dp and scissors again. Maybe I can revive by love of it efore the month ends. ;-D
