Paper Pieced Comfy Chair


So after my DT cards which probably wasn't the best to do first I went for a nice and easy challenge card. It's paper piecing over on Less is More and this chair is from Mo Manning called Empty Chair 1 was sat on the top of printer waiting to do just that.
I'm pleased I used an old scrapbook paper that I had a whole 12 inch sheet but nothing to go with it but I'm still left with half sheet since I cut various sized to print the different layers. There was a scrap of matching bluey green card in my scrap card pile.
I even added a sentiment for my base case so no stamping involved although if you look closely there's some smudges cos my printers heads want cleaning but it wants me to put in a couple of new cartridges to do that so I trying to pretend they're not there.
Just a bit of ribbon cos I can't quite leave all that white space but looking at it now I wish I had left it off.
