Paper Piecing Tutorial

I created this paper piecing card and tutorial for the Scrapbook News & Review Magazine and now would like to share it here. I have a picture of the finished card and all of the steps that I took to get to this card. The background paper is Webster's Pages and the ladies are all cut from Graphic 45.

Here is the finished card:



Choose your patterned paper for the front of your card:



Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit on the front of your card:



Adhere the patterned paper to the front of your card:



Choose the patterned paper to cut your small images from:



Cut out several different sized images:



Move the images around on your card to decide where you're going to put them:



Adhere the images to the front of your card. You can use as many layers as you want to use:



Here is the finished card again. I stamped two greetings and added a rhinestone. You can embellish as desired.
