Purple Paper-pieced Party Frock

Hello Folks!

 Today's challenge at Totally Papercrafts has been set by my talented team mate Chitra and is sponsored by the wonderful Digistamp Boutique...
 

Chitra has chosen one of my favourite themes - CLEAN AND SIMPLE - so channel your inner minimalist creativity and have a look over there to see some of the inspiration from the design team.

Digistamp Boutique has been one of my long time favourite places for digis - I just love the style and cuteness of the images - there's everything from adorable baby animals to funky shoes and handbags.

I chose to make today's cards with a much loved Digistamp Boutique oldie...




It's a gorgeous prom dress done in my favourite technique - paper-piecing. I've used a pretty lilac and purple spotty patterned paper on the dress and as a border and finished off with a matching ribbon and gems.

This card is so typical of my current style - clean and simple. I just love to see white space on cards - very fresh looking. Paper-piecing is such a great way of colouring images as well - it adds a bit more depth and texture than I am able to achieve through colouring with pens.

I've entered this into the challenges at:

CAS-ology - Purple
As You Like It Challenge - Showcase your favourite style
Crafting For All Seasons - For The Girls

Thanks for visiting

    What a sweet card. I just love your purple dress. My 16 year old wore a purple dress very similar to this to her winter formal last week. Thank you so much for playing with us at CASology this week, and I hope you play again soon.
