Tutorial on Paper Piecing a TILDA Image..

Bit of a long post so go grab a cuppa & I hope it helps some bloggers..??
As promised I have done a VERY basic easy step by step piccy tutorial

on paper piecing an image. This is the way I piece a stamped OR Digi

image with design paper..

Over on Totally Tilda chall. we had a chall for Paper Piecing a Tilda image

sadly quite a number of entrants had to be deleted for not complying with

the theme..I had an email from an entrant explaining she didn't know what

paper piecing an image meant.  The blogger had not understood our wording..

We forget there are NEW bloggers & our overseas crafters who all love to

take part in challs. & make the effort to create beautiful creations only 

to be disqualified.. so here goes step by step..

Here I have stamped 2 Tilda images, one on my design paper, the

other on my chosen colouring pad.. If you are using DIGI images

simply pop your design paper in the printer & print your whole image.

In this piccy you can see I have used a nestie shape & cut the Tilda image out.

The design paper I have cut out Tildas DRESS this is what I want to piece up..

(A little tip if your design paper is a one way pattern make sure its the right way up..

I cant tell you HOW many times I've stamped it upside down..)LOL

 

This piccy shows the coloured image & the cut out dress in design paper..

another TIP if you are using a Nestie or any other die to frame your image

cut the stamped image out FIRST ..  I use a PVA dries clear glue to stick the

cut out dress to the finished coloured Tilda  as it has some play so you can

line it up & the glue wont mark your work..

Here Tilda now has a new Designer Dress ..doesn't she look smart??

Glitter etc can now be added...

Here is the finished creation the Butterfly digi down load papers are available

from Pinkgemdesigns & they go so well with these Tilda images.
