However, luckily I had some cards ready and waiting that are perfect for this week!
I just adore how Peet Roeven manages to combine patterned papers with her stamped images and so I decided to have a go at paper piecing a card.
I have used Penny Blacks Welcome to Mimi's 4190K, Let it Snow 30-086, Christmas Express 30-080 (I used the holly and stamped an extra leaf to create an additional embellishment on the button Mix and Match Card Stock Rose Garden 14-003 and Scroll White EP401
Other:-
Martha Stewart Holidays Mat Pad and American Craft Satin Ribbon.
The embossed paper has been machine stitched onto the mix and match card stock and then the Mimi image dimensional foam mounted. Each element of the Mimi image has been paper pieced and foam mounted. A pearl had been added for the door handle, enamel accents used for the snow, gems added to the centre of the holly leaves and fluffy stuff used for Mimi's hat. The button is antique.
Don't forget to visit the Penny Black blog this week for more Mimi inspiration from the other designers...they will blow your socks off!
