Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity January Blog Hop. This
month the theme is paper piecing. This is a technique I admire in others but seldom do myself. This is a quick and easy way to get away from coloring images if that is something you struggle with or are a beginner crafter and just lack the tools to work with.
Looking through my vast Unity collection, I did not have many stamps that I felt that would work for this month. I try to use a new image each time, especially with the large collection I have. The image I chose was partly inspired by the beautiful creation made by Dawn Fields last month, and my desire to want to make a slim line card. If you missed our hop last month, check out Dawn's card.
