S&D Challenge #1 Paper Piecing and Nestability Giveaway

Posted under S&D Challenge by Beth

Welcome to the blog challenge from the Sunflowers & Dragonflies DT! This week’s challenge is to paper piece. Anyone can play along in the challenge and we hope you will! There are no limits on time or supplies. Of course we’d prefer that you use images by Sunflowers and Dragonflies, but feel free to use other images. Please post a direct link to your challenge project from either your blog or an online gallery so we can view it. If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword S&D1 (add challenge # after S&D). Please check out the challenge projects below from each of our DT members and click on their blog links to find details about each specific project.

Canada Beaver was paperpieced using BasicGrey’s Offbeat designer paper.  Image was stamped several times and the pieces were layered.  Two extra mapleleafs were stamped out and used on the card front (can you spot them?).  The striped paper was machine sewn onto the background. Sentiment is Odd Bird Planet.

We are very excited about the prize!  Each week a different Spellbinder Nestability will be given away.  This week’s prize is the large oval set.

Are you excited yet?
