Paper Piecings by Nikki DT Posting

Welcome Crafters how are you enjoying this very warm summer so far?

Today I wanted to share with you a couple cards I made using the Beach Bums Digi Stamps  and the You R My Sunshine Acrylic stamp set from Paper Piecings by Nikki.

Now I am in no way a stamper, I wish I were and keep trying, but I don't have the skill or patience for all that shading and correct lighting etc. so I just color them with pencils add a little Stickles here and there and some Glossy Accents and call it a day LOL.  I did try the water pen and ink method and that didn't work for me either (probably not the right type of ink?) So for now I'm sticking with pencils when I want the entire image colored and fine tip markers when I just want a little bit for highlight.

I'm not much for fussy cutting either (I should just give up on the digi idea LOL) so I used a heart stencil
to cut this little doll out

Now don't let my attempt at digi's discourage you from trying them yourself.  You can pick up this set here:
