DOING LIFE

There's a Wonderful Thing ...
{DT Project Tammy's Scrapin Corner: Challenge #51}

Hubby is training to run the Comrades for the second time again (his second time).  For the non South-Africans, its the biggest ultra distance race in South Africa and one of the biggest in the world, with up to 30,000 athletes taking part every year.  The distance is 86.96km and its a race from Pietermaritzburg to Durban and vice versa, alternating every year, being an up or down run. The cut off time to complete the race is 12 hours.  You can read more about the race here.  So why I am mentioning this is, is that hubby is in serious training mode at the moment and did his third 42.2km of the year, on Saturday and is doing so well.


This week our theme for Challenge #51 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner  is Paper Piecing.  I used the Sunflowers Vase  and Sunflowers images from Bugaboo.  You can purchase the images here. and here The sentiment is also from Bugaboo and part of a Mini Set called Roses - your can purchase it here.  

Another attempt at using my Copics for the colouring.  I have also discovered one of the uses for the Copic Colourless Blender i.e. making the little dots on the flowers - I love this cool technique.  The centre of the flowers and the vase have been paper pieced with Basic Grey design paper.  All the other design papers used on the card is also from Basic Grey.  The gold brads and jewel stones are from my stash .

Hope you will play along this week - so come on link your paper pieced creations to Tammy's Scrapin Corner's Challenge No.51. Can't wait to see what you create.
