Ok, ok, I know... they aren't glass. But "The Paper Menagerie" just doesn't strike the same tone, does it?
I had the opportunity to make some paper pieced animals this weekend utilizing the Sure Cuts A Lot program for the Cricut, along with a few downloaded patterns. I cannot wait to get this program. I think that these bunnies and bears are the first patterns I am going to pay for and download!
This is Ted. Ted was cut from Vanilla Cream CS, and sponged with Brown Bag, Autumn Terracotta and Smoothie inks. He is so cute, my mom tried to steal him.
This is Cottontail. She was cut from textured white cs, and sponged with Gray Flannel and Baby Pink inks.
This is Chicky Baby. Now, I didn't think I was going to like him near as much as I liked the rabbits or bears, but he grew on me. And the more I inked and stamped on him, the more I liked him. Of course, he is HUGE... I will have to try one that is more "chick" sized... Chicky was cut from Colonial White CS, and sponged and stamped tone on tone with Sunflower ink. His beak and feet were sponged from Sunset ink.
And finally, I would like to introduce Brown Betty. She was actually my first paper pieced animal creation, and I just fell in love! She is so stinking cute! Betty was cut from Vanilla Cream CS and sponged with Chocolate and Blush inks.
All of my pictures are a little on the blurry side. I have been having a few technical difficulties with my camera, but I'm working on it!
So there you have it. Once I purchase my program and downloads, these little guys will be the subject of a class on sponging techniques.
Have a scrappin' great day!!
