365 Cards Day 155 Super Sketchy Sunday. Cute Card Thurdsay #71 Let's Get Fruity & Stamp Something - Paper Piecing


I have wanted to try out this stamp from June's KOM from Unity Stamps, and this was my chance. I decided to combine the sketch from 365 Cards with the technique from Stamp Something and the theme from Cute Card Thursday.
So here is a card with fruit for Cute Card Thursday, a small amount of paper piecing... the partridge and the tree trunk, for Stamp Something, altogether in 365's sketch.
I stamped a piece of the brown paperbag that my Unity stamps arrived in, with some old French script and used that for the background and the paper piecing. I used another small piece for the sentiment. The green background paper was stamped with random dots in gold.
I don't always like what I end up with, but I quite like this one!

  3. It's fab, love the colour way too, like the french script stamp very much. I can't make a card around more than one challenge, I end up in knots over the trivia and miss the overall aim! (Oh, I think I just typed the story of my life!)
