Hot Stuff…
Have y’all been checking out the daily Spellbinders sneak peeks? If not, what have you been waiting for? You can win fabulous stuff!! Read about it HERE.
If you have been following us, you’ve seen Linda’s reveal on July 5th of this awesome die set called Mega Curved Rectangles.
I am so in love with all of the new dies, and this set is no exception! I chose to pair it with the new Lockhart Apron, “hot stuff” sentiment, and Prima’s NEW Urban Cosmos paper. OMG this paper is STUNNING!!!!!! And it comes with coordinating flowers as well as some cool trim! Lindsey only has 9 of them left, so I’d run over there and snatch yours up before she sells out!!
I love doing paper piecing when there’s an image with wide open spaces. This apron works perfectly for that, and you can customize it for anything! Aprons aren’t just for cooking…how about an artist apron for an adult or a child? Or for cleaning the house? Or what about for a baby? How about “his & hers” aprons for a wedding? The possibilities are endless for this darling stamp! 
This is a pretty simple design, so it does not need much in the way of blah-blah. I did just want to mention that I stamped the image a total of 5 times. Once on the burgundy curved rectangle, once on white cardstock, for the loop around the neck, and ties that hang down, once for the main print of the apron, once on the striped print for the pockets, and once on the dotted print for the towel.
I used my Copic markers in verdigris (G83) and olive (G99), as well as W3 for some shading. A bit of sponging around the edges with Ranger vintage photo ink, some aged copper brads, and a white embossed sentiment finish the design.
I just noticed that this card has no bling or ribbon…GO FIGURE!! Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!

Oh don’t worry…it is fine without the bling and ribbon. All of the ribbons and puffy flowers get boring. This is great….love it!

I just love this stamp. And yeah, paper piecing it is an awesome way to work it!
Y’know, it is totally refreshing to omit the bling and ribbons. Good job for it… I really, really find it refreshing.

It’s a great card. With that much paper piece, ribbon and bling would have been overdoing it!
