This is one of my makes......Fluffles is doing the Tilda challenge on Docrafts this week and she chose paper-piecing as the theme. Well, this is one of my favourite techniques, not least because it gets me out of colouring what for me is the most difficult part of the image. The challenge over on Copic Creations is also for paper-piecing, with the addition of shading on the cut paper.
I adore this Tilda image, but it's not the easiest to paper-piece, as I found out. The coat and gloves are cut from the pale cream backing paper (there's big hole in the middle under the mat where I stamped the coat for cutting out), and I used W1, W3 and W5 copics to add shading to the clothes. Shading onto patterned paper was very much a new thing to me, and I fiddled around with it so much that you can't really see the pattern on the paper any more. Nevermind, it was fun to make and I'm definitely going to try this again. Hope you like it.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

I have always admired your colouring techniques Carole and the way you make your images come to life. The above cards are a brilliant example and are just perfect. I have yet to reach such a high standard and can only hope that with much more practice I will be somewhere near as professional as you at colouring. Your tips on technique are precise and so easy to follow too.
