I mentioned yesterday that I thought it closely along my lines to do paper-piecing so I wanted to give it a go. I tried to come up with a set of stamps I have that would be good for paper piecing and then decided I also wanted to do a Christmas challenge. I thought the Putt Putt set would be fun and then figured out how to make it Christmasy. I came up with by air, by ground, by water, I'll get there somehow which made me think of "I'll be home for Christmas." A bit quirky on the theme but overall, I like the results.
The print paper is all from Making Memories's
Mistletoe stack and the background paper is SU's Very Vanilla. You'll notice the plane says "holiday" on it and the car has a cardinal on it. Silly but fun.
The stamps are from SU's Putt Putt set. The ink was simply SU's Basic Black.
