Anya in Autumn Colours


This little beauty was one of the images from my blog candy win which made paper piecing her hat a challenge. As I don't have the stamp I had to cut the hat from one image and draw around it on the spotted paper and then cut that out. I think it's the first time I've ever tried paper piecing and I really like the result. I added a gold padded bow from my stash, drew faux stitching around the image, coloured with PMs, papers are Papermania and Craftwork Cards, as is the sentiment.

Challenges are:
Anyone for Anya Paper Piecing
Cupcake Buttons and stitching
Roses on Paper Use another sketch and orange, green and brown
Paperplay Favourite embellishment (Flowers)
CRAFT 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and 3 papers
