Adventures with Paper Piecing and Decoupage

I've seen lots of cards with paper pieced images lately and have loved the results, so I decided that I'd give it a go. I chose this adorable little rabbit from Dragons Lair Designs and for reasons best known to myself decided that I'd decoupage the image as well. For those of you who have been following me for a little while, you'll remember I had a bit of a disaster with some shop bought decoupage and swore I'd never go there again! Well I'm really pleased that I gave it a second chance as I'm fairly pleased with the result and will definitely be using this technique again.

Close up to show fuzziness

I used digi papers for this card and printed them directly onto my card base, which saved a whole lot of faffing (is that a word??) around with trying to glue papers onto a diamond fold base. The cute little bunny as I said has been paper pieced and decoupaged, but I didn't stop there! Oh no!! I found some grey flock that I've had sitting unused in my stash and bunged that on for good measure - (in order for my photo to show this up, I had to take the picture in really strong sunlight). I also added some faux stitching with white gel pen (you need to click on the 1st image and zoom in to see it).
