Love you

Jan is hosting our Little Red Wagon challenge this week and she's selected "Piece (and a long life)!" - with paper piecing of any kind being the technique to enjoy.


I did some paper piecing with a hearts die, first using distress inks on watercolour paper to create an ombre background. Once the colours were as I wished, I used the die to cut out the hearts, being as careful as I could to keep things in place so I could adhere them appropriately! I was fortunate that about half stayed in place and I decided that I would keep the original die outline, glue it down and then add the remaining hearts. I then layered a white cut of the same die on top. The back panel was embossed with some little hearts and then scored along the bottom due to the larger size of this card. The sentiment was made using different dies. The inside panel has a heart border and I finished things off with an extra heart.

I'm looking forward to seeing the other paper-pieced projects at Little Red Wagon and invite you to have a look as well! We'd love to have you join this week's challenge too!
