My Pink Stamper March Design Team Project


I am a bit hooked on Paper Quilting this month and our monthly My Pink Stamper challenge was to do a layout, so I thought I would combine the two! The piecing and hand sewing on this layout did take quite awhile, but I loved how it turned out. The hearts were cut from the "Create a Critter" Cartridge. The Heidi Swapp distressing tool was then used to rough up the edges.

Robyn's clear stamps are amazing for their versatility. I used two stamp sets on this layout; Sweetest Cupcake for the "Sugar and Spice" sentiment with which I created the border around the heart and "Sweet Baby" for the "Sweet Girls" title.

I used a watercolor marker to color in the Sugar "&" and Spice separately and then stamped them individually to create the border. Key to this technique is THOROUGHLY cleaning your stamp between each impression so no over stamping or blurring occurs.

To check out the entire My Pink Stamper Team's projects be sure to visit http://www.mypinkstamper.com. If you don't have every single one of Robyn's amazing clear stamps be sure to do some window shopping here where all of her stamps are pictured and her retailers listed.

Thanks for looking,

CarrieAnne

    I LOVE the paper quilting CarrieAnne! :) I need to get a sewing machine so I can do this too!!! Really though, this layout is fabulous.

    Can you show a picture of/ describe a water color pen? I have never used anything but regular ink on my stamps and have never heard of that. Do you just get that kind of thing at Michael's?

    Thanks girl!

    Your layout is so adorable!! Love that you made it a shape, too. The sentiment wrapping around the edges is totally inspirational. Funny how I forget to do things like that...so thank you for inspiring all of us. Your layout is wonderful!

    i liked your photo frame project, but this is even better! how did you get the patchwork heart done? did you glue the patches down and then cut the heart and sew it on? i'm so curious! this is great!
