Hello! It's Faith here! With it being just days away from our April Release, our Friday Focus shares a tip and will give you a chance to win all three of the sets to be released next week! Stay tuned for the details at the end of this post!Today's Friday Focus is Paper Piecing. I love to paper piece and have made a simple tutorial for you.
For this technique you will need:
I Love Roses Stamp Set
Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink
Patterned paper (I used Basic Grey's Urban Praire)
Scissors
Markers to coordinated with papers
Stamp the images in the Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto the designer papers.
Highlight areas on the image with marker.
Cut out the darker image.
Cut out the colored image, cutting away some of the outter layers of the rose.
Use pop dot to RAISE the smaller image.
Here you can see the raised area.
Color in ONE side of each of the leaves.
Cut out leaves and layer under the rose.
Swing Into Spring Challenge!
Do you want to use a little of your creativity to get your hands on all three newly released sets? All you have to do is make a card with a little paper piecing on it! Upload to SCS with the keyword FLLCAPR or leave a comment here on this post. We can't wait to see what you piece together! We'll accept entries until Friday, April 10th at 5PM CST.

Fabulous tutorial Faith! I like how you colored the leaves.
This is beautiful, though I have done this technique I never thought of coloring the paper :) :), that's why I love coming by here, I learn so much.
I just recently found your web site. It is wonderful. This card is gorgeous.

Beautiful card! I love paper piecing, it is so much fun! Here is a card I did some paper piecing on. I wish it was a Flourishs stamp, but alas, I have so few!

I have to admit, paper piecing seems a bit daunting to me. I gave it a try on the card in my blog post (http://thepaperfreak.blogspot.com/2009/04/think-green.html) and in my SCS gallery (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1301480)
I love the tutorial and the rose card! So pretty and the colors....I would love to win all the stamp sets.
Here is one I did a while ago with paper piecing with one of my favorite stamp sets

Thanks for the chance:)
I played with my new sets yesterday and here is my piecing project...

Stunning rose!!
This card is beautiful. You are all so talented.
Your card is just beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial, I love paper piecing and the rose was so great.
I'm not a big user of the paper piecing technique, but having just received my very FIRST Flourishes stamps order, I had to try! So here's my iris:

I use this technique all the time but I never thought about using patterned paper under it. Thanks for pushing me outside my box.

I do this all the time but never thought about using patterned paper as the foundation. Thanks for nudging me out of my box.

My first time paper piecing... so it definitely isn't as beautiful as the many other cards I've seen. But with the right sets and some practice, who knows maybe I'll get good at it! I am loving all the cards I've seen with the new Flourishes sets. Wonderful!
What a beautiful card Faith....I love paper piecing...and did it for the first time with this card:

Paper piecing is one of my favorite things to do so I love this challenge! Gorgeous card, Faith! Here's mine (it's in the gallery at SCS, too):
Thanks
I love what you did with those roses! Amazing! I chose an easier set for me to paper piece and here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1307922?cat=500&ppuser=156271
Thanks!
I've never stamped an image on designer paper before, actually never thought of it. Thanks for sharing!
Loved the tutorial!
I don't have a blog, so this link ( http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c20/maggie_mae_1961/valfave.jpg ) will take you to a photobucket pic. I paper pieced the heart. Thanks for the chance to win some yummy candy!
Beautiful card. Love the tutorial. I am not artistic but I would love to learn about paper-piecing.

Just making it in on the last day. Sorry I didn't have any suitable Flourishes stamps for this one.
Our kids have been visiting, but I got my paper pieced Easter Egg card uploaded last night just in time for your wonderful challenge. Leslie's tutorial was so helpful too.
