For You (RCC38)

This is my second post for the day...scroll down or click HERE to see my Tiddly Inks creation.

My fellow Ribbon Carousel design team member, Kim O'Connell is a fabulous artist with tons of techniques up her sleeve.  She also has a wicked funny sense of humor that keeps us all in stitches.  So this week, Kim is challenging us to use the paper-piecing technique somewhere on our creations.  

And who would be a great sponsor for this challenge?  Why, Birdie Brown of course!!

Hello everyone! My name is Torico, the owner of Birdie Brown, and you may know me as an illustrator for There She Goes Clear Stamps. I'm a mom to two kids who live in Japan. I've loved doodling since I was a child, and have a passion for card making now! At my Etsy shop, Birdie Brown, I'm offering whimsical and cute (Japanese "kawaii") digital stamps created from my original illustrations. Speaking about card making, I love "simple & cute" design. So, most of my digital stamps are designed to match such a style. If you also like "simple & cute" style, you'll find something you have been wanting on Birdie Brown!!

Torico generously provided me with, Girl with a Rose for me to design with this week.  I paper pieced the flower and layered the tag with papers from My Mind's Eye (Market Street).  The Spellbinder Lacey Circle as well as the image itself are popped up with foam tape for dimension.  The tiny half pearls were colored with a G00 Copic marker to match the papers.  I used a combination of Brown/White Grosgrain Two Toned Ribbon and crinkled Leather Tan Vintage Seam Binding from the Ribbon Carousel looped through the tag.   The Ribbon Carousel is now carrying these gorgeous Pewter Pearl and Rhinestone Pins.  

Hopefully my creation has inspired to you play along with us this week at the Ribbon Carousel Challenge Blog, where one lucky participant will win 3 FREE dig's of their choice from the Birdie Brown store.   Your creation can be anything you'd like, just be sure you use ribbon, bakers twine, lace, thread...(anything that comes on a spool) and follow this weeks theme.

Be sure to stop by to see all the inspiration Carousel Crew B has for you and leave them some love!!
