Mr And Mrs Bates' 5th Anniversary

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello.  Gail here today and I am having too much fun with the Paper Piecing challenge!  OK, maybe you can't have too much fun!!   Have you tried it??  Here's Mr and Mrs Bates, proud new owners of the wooden pitchfork.
I stamped Lost Coast Designs American Gothic Party using black archival on pale blue, pale pink and red card, then again on blue and yellow patterned card using blue dye ink.  I also stamped and embossed it on gold mirror card.  Then I cut out the bits and pieced everythin onto the pale blue background.  I cut around the inside of the gold embossed frame and framed my paper pieced picture.  I added some silver sequins to Mrs' dress and added some glossy accents to his glasses and the M on her hat.  I found a Prima patterned journal card that looked like a wooden wall and 'hung' my picture a little crookedly.
There's still time to join the Paper Piecing challenge for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars.  The more players the bigger the prize!!
