Patchwork Pokey Dog

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 Portal Peeps!  Gail here today with some inspiration for the Animal challenge.  Something I love to do is paper piecing.   As a thrifty crafter I take care of my paper scraps and even small pieces are useful when you are only stamping part of the image.  Today I decided to make a paper pieced Pokey Dog.  He's one of the *new* Lost Coast Designs animals stamps and he's such a cutie.

If you are using a stamping platform you can stamp your image on a scrap of paper and then position your scraps over the relevant sections.  I wanted to use patterned scraps and I picked some with small tight patterns to ensure they looked good on the smaller fussy cut pieces.  
 
I stamped Carmen's Veranda Staircase with grey ink and gave it a grey and pink watercolour wash.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Happy Birthday and Never To Late sentiments on white card, fussy cut and edged with black ink.
Thanks for dropping by.  Link up your stamped anythings featuring animals for your chance to win some Lost Coast Dollars.
