Inventory Challenge #82

Good morning to all my lovely blogging friends! It's time for another Inventory Challenge and this week's theme is "paper piecing". Danielle will not be joining us this week, but she will be back next week. Today, I am featuring a Tilda from the Animal/Pet Collection. As you can see, I paper pieced the dress, part of the bow and even the shoes and socks. I wanted to use black Mirro paper for the shoes, but cutting out the shoes was wayyyyyy too detailed....I gave up! The papers are a mix of Pion Design and Prima. The bird cage is a Tim Holtz die. Now I would love to invite you to visit my fabulous teammates and friends and view their amazing creations: CATHY-LYNN, RENE, KATHY, SYLVIA, NADINE and ELLE. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog and leave a comment. It is truly appreciated. Hugs, Christina

    Great job paper piecing Tilda's dress and socks and shoes. What a job. It looks fantastic, Tilda with her parrot and the matching die cut. I also like the shape of your card. I assume it is one of the giant Spellbinder dies. Very cute...

    Hey Christina! It looks as if you are one great dress designer. I love the way you pieced her dress - you really thought that one out well. I like the Tim Holtz bird cage with the pearls along the bottom and that bird inside is gorgeous! I also love your flower. Great design work!
