A little journal I've made with the Jenndi Purrfection digital kit from Patreon.com/melodimade . It's such a lovely kit I'll be making a larger journal with it too.
I love paper piecing. It's an easy way to add dimension to a stamped image and makes a change from colouring by hand. It's great for using up scraps of coloured papers. If you don't have a scrap box you can even use magazine pages and adverts to great effect.
You will need:
Look at the image and decide how you will divide it up into sections with different tones. Choose 3 or 4 (or more if you like) scraps of paper for each colour. You can use quite small pieces as you will only need a small section of the image for most of them. I have used the darkest greens for the back leaves and the darkest pink for the tightly furled centre of the rose.
Stamp the rose onto the background paper. There is a slight sheen to this paper so I heat set the ink to avoid smudging.
You can mask the unwanted parts of the stamp with scrap paper so that you can fit the leaves onto small pieces of paper.
As the rolled edges of the leaves and petals will be the lightest colours to show as highlights, stamp the flower onto the palest pink and the leaves onto the palest green scraps. These will form the base for the assembled image. Stamp partial images onto the remaining scraps, choosing which you want to be light, medium and dark and making sure this section is completely stamped.
Cut out the two leaf sections. Fussy cut the visible edges of the leaves; the rest will be hidden by the flower. Fussy cut the other leaves, removing the curled edge sections so the light base will show as highlights.
Glue the leaves onto the stamped outline and stick the light, medium and dark leaves in place.
Cut out the complete flower from the palest pink and glue this into place over the leaves. Fussy cut the centre in the darkest pink and the individual petals in the medium shades, again trimming off the rolled edges of the petals to reveal the lighter highlights. Glue carefully into place.
The finished flower.
