Paper Pieced Redbird





















Saturday...Saturday...Saturday



Saturday...Saturday...Saturday



Can you hear Elton John? (He's in my head as I type this)






Anyway...






Paper piecing with Vintage stamps is not only fun, it's interesting and the results can be surprisingly energizing!






I have a TON of old CTMH paper. Seeing I am frugal (or as I tend to say more often, cheap), I have to use it up before I can purchase new packs...and I WANT new SU paper to match my ink collection I am purchasing through my club with MsMyra (Hi Myra!).






Why SU! cs? To do the COOL color challenges on KWerner's Blog. LOVE HER!






Once again, using what I have, I used discontinued CTMH Majestic Mountain ink. It's not as harsh as black, and I believe makes for a better vintage look.






The birds are vintage B&T from CTMH in Holiday Red. I used CTMH Giddy Up paper which looks sort of like a window screen to me.






The stamps are Crafty Secrets' Bird Notes set. Aren't they cute?






So thank-you, Beate Johns for the remembrance of paper piecing...not a new idea, but the replay is very satisfying.
