Playing along...



Hi, folks! It's a chilly and frosty start to the day here in the UK, so what better than a little time in a cosy craft room!

I wanted to play along with the current challenge over at Inkspirational as I love an excuse to do a little paper piecing. 


I had a really good idea of how I wanted this card to look, but it hasn't quite worked out as I'd expected. Perhaps I shouldn't have used Distress Oxide to ink the base card? Perhaps I'm actually just fussing over nothing?

The cute cup image is from the lovely Jane's Doodles set I have open on my desk at the moment. I love the size of her new sets and they are so much fun to colour. 


I'm also linking this card over at ABC Christmas Challenge where 'A is for Anything Christmas'.

Have a crafty day!

Paper piecing is always fun to do and this is a lovely result. Just the sort of weather for a nice warming hot chocolate and this one comes with extras.

I love paper piecing too and yes, you are fussing over nothing - your background is fabulous!

So cute! Love the background, and I love how you colored up the candy canes! The paper piecing is really neat; I haven't done much of that, but yours looks great! Hope you are having a blessed week!

What a fun, festive card, Jo. Great paper piecing and I love your white pen work in the candy canes - it really gives them dimension. A fabulous cup of good cheer!
