I like doing paper piecing on an image where you can create an interesting pattern on part of an image that you could not simply do with markers or pencils. Clothing is obviously the most obvious choice and giving a dress a patterned look can be quite striking. You just need to like cutting things out for this technique! So, I stamped and colored Marcie with Copics, then stamped the image again on a small-print DP and cut the dress out. I like to use Ranger's Glossy Accents to attach small pieces like this - you just need to ensure that you put the glue line a little back from the edge - this allows the glue to spread out without oozing out the sides. Glossy Accents does dry with a a shine, so if you get some on the outside, you can see the adhesive.
The circle behind Marcie is cut out with a Spellbinders circle die then embossing with an embossing folder. I added a little happy birthday sentiment - cut out with a circle punch.
Enjoy your day!
