Paper Piecing Tag!

I LOVE this ship stamp from Bombshell Stamps. I 've stamped and coloured it before with copic pens:

But I kept looking at those little sails and wanted them to be all stripey and multicolored somehow, it was paper piecing time!!

I have the 6x6" Cosmo Cricket paper pad of the Wanted papers- which are lovely warm teals, oranges and browns! I chose three different papers and stamped the ship onto each of the three.

I chose the Orange paper as the background from the image as it reminded me of a sky at sunset-the whole ship image was stamped and cut out from this paper.

Next I used a wood effect paper to create the ...well wooden parts of the ship!

Then the fun and fiddly bit I started cutting out the sails and sticking them in place. It was fiddly but I like cutting out and I found it quite relaxing, maybe that's weird LOL!

I created my tag with teal Cosmo Cricket paper and stamped some maritme images onto it to create a background for the ship.

I added the ship and some sentiments and coloured a piece of seam binding ribbon with Aged Mahogany and Walnut Ink Distress Inks and hey presto the tag was finished!

Here's a close-up of those sails with a little extra shading (copic pens) and highlights (white ink pen) for extra emphasis :

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!
Love,
