Emily is a huge fan of Unity's Suzi Blu stamps and always makes such cool and creative cards with them. So, I broke out my lone Suzi Blu stamp and here's what I made:
Isn't she fab? Seriously, this card took me forever to execute between the paper piecing and the coloring. The papers are a mix of October Afternoon, Cosmo Cricket, and My Mind's Eye. I love how the papers look together.
See the cool tweed hat? It's a digital stamp from Bows and Berries (Tweed Hat) that I flipped and resized to fit the girl's head. I printed the hat on the C.C. Clementine paper, but the pattern looked strange. So, I turned the paper, printed the image again, and then paper pieced the tweed patches. Here's a close-up:
Using digital accessories opens up all kinds of possibilities, doesn't it? I'm thinking it would be so cute to resize this hat for some animal stamps...
I'm linking the card up to Unity's Friends With Flair this week. Check it out! And if you get a chance, wish Emily a happy birthday. :)
Have a great weekend!
