It's a Girl's World After All ... a Blog Challenge Entry

Today's 8" x 4" card project was created for Allison's "Suggestive Sunday" blog challenge. For this week's theme, "Girls of the World," Allison provided us with some really cute clip art images to use to create our entries. If you'd like to download this collection for your personal use, click HERE.

As you can tell, there's no stamping on this card. Here's a perfect project for all of you non-stampers ... I know you're out there!

I paper-pieced my girls by first printing out a copy of the entire sheet on regular text weight paper. Then, using an 80# sheet of white card stock, I held the printed sheet behind the card stock and determined the placement of my designer paper. Next, I simply taped my DP over the area where my selected images would print, and ran the prepared card stock through my printer. If I haven't explained this well, and I prolly haven't, please feel free to ask questions.

I cut out the clothing from the DP, colored my girls with Copic markers, and added some Stickles to each girl. You might have to click on the image to see it but it's there!

The background was created by running card stock through my 'Bug using Cuttlebug's "Perfectly Paisley" embossing folder. Because my paper was much longer than the folder, I simply ran it through once, flipped the card stock so that the non-embossed portion of the card stock was in the folder, and ran it through again.

Finally, I set some eyelets, ran some soft fibers through the set eyelets, and created a scallop border using a pair of Fiskars decorative edge scissors ('Clouds).

Tomorrow, I thin' I'll be posting some more Diva Impression rubber stamps to give away. Hope to see you back for that!!

~Hugs,
