friend...

this is the atc i originally made for the friendship atc (in the post below) but then i realized i liked it for the other atc swap that includes paper piecing, which christie is also hosting. if you are new to paper piecing, it's simply when you piece paper into areas of your stamped image. you stamp the image on the patterned paper, cut it out, then put it on your original image. in this one, i paper pieced her dress with the polka dot paper. it's a fun technique. it took me a while to figure out how to do it, but i love doing it now!! i'm in about 8 swaps right now and they are all atc swaps, so i'll be posting more of those in the future!!!

I love your paper piecing here. I love how you "chopped" off her legs to fit on the ATC too. That sounds funny but you know what i mean, right? :)
