By My Side

At the end of May I shared on Facebook Live a paper piecing technique that's been around for ever & a day, as my lovely Mum used to say.

Here's that video

A very easy technique, you stamp the image once where it will be ending up, unless you are planning to die cut of fussy cut. By My Side does not have dies, so I chose to place them on basic white card and decided later which shape to cut.

You will have to also stamp onto pattern paper to 'dress' them in this case, although you can construct a scene using this technique. Clothes were all I used for these images, the remainder is coloured using Stampin' Blends, our alcohol markers.

By My Side is on page 52 of the Annual catalogue, tucked away in the kids & babies section.

It has been a long weekend here in Victoria, celebrating Queens Birthday. Of course the days are chilly, but I've filled them by baking biscuits and making pumpkin soup from my own home-grown pumpkin.
