Belle Papier {pretty paper}

I decided to have a little retro fun with this Mushroom Lane Hospital stamp. Mushrooms and all kinds of funky retro images being so in right now, I played up on the fun look by combining the pink, orange and aqua papers from the new Kim Hughes MochaChica paper pack. I’m hoping the funky image will make the recipient smile.

Also…don’t forget about the Simple Scrapbooks So You Think you Can Stamp contest! Only two more days left!

Mushroom Lane

While this image was quite complex, it was still fairly easy to paper piece and add in small highlights of color with my Copic Markers. To add my embellishments, I pulled out the main colors from the design and repeated them in the flower, ribbon and button.

Quick Tip: If you plan to add color to your paper piecing, make sure that you use fairly light colored patterned paper.

Have a fabulous day! Check back tomorrow for this week’s Ways to Use it Challenge.
