Holly Hobbie

 


This week at Allsorts challenge we would like to see "hand coloured or paper pieced images". I decided to make a new picture for my frame. 

I love Holly Hobbie. When I was a teenager I had this image and another one on my bedroom wall. They were actually sheets of wrapping paper. So I had to have this CC stamp, but she has remained uninked for so long! I saw on someone's blog they had used a HH image and it inspired me to dig her out and use her.

Her pinafore is a patchwork and so I chose a paper that I thought would look like that, without the effort of individually paper piecing each square!!! I had such fun making her and when complete I used some promarkers over the papers for shading.



We have two prizes on offer this week. A Tonic die set from Colemans Craft Warehouse and 3 images from Ruth Hamilton Design.

I simply love this card Lynn. We must be of similar age as I always liked Holly Hobbie too! There's just something so appealing about them. Great paper piecing with the additional bit of shading too! xxx

A lovely card Lynn, I think most girls loved Holly Hobbie and it's a super image to paper piece. This would make a lovely framed picture.

This is delightful Lynn. I have had this stamped up on my desk for awhile now but haven't got round to colouring her. I love how you have portrayed her.

OH! How beautiful Lynn, I shall have to go back into my files and dig out an image of her I haven't used for years. I love the simplicity of your frame and the gorgeous colours you used.
