Paper Pieced Pig Scene Card with Nesting Dies

A project from our live show BRAND SHOWCASE - Join Simon from AVAGO INK - broadcast 8th April 22 · 08/04/2022

Create a vibrant layered card using a large background stamp as a template. Cut sections from coloured paper to build up a scenic landscape, then layer it onto a card blank shaped with a nesting die to create a coordinating card front.
