Less is More challenge #52

I've never entered a Less is More (LIM) challenge before as I never seem to be able to find the right balance between 'Simply Chic' and 'Too Simple'. However, I took the plunge this week and decided to enter.

This week's Less is More challenge was to follow this sketch. 

I had a Nikki stamp that I'd been wanting to try paper piecing on for a while now. The chair she's sitting in was crying out to be patterned so I stamped the image again onto the new 'Cheerful Treat' striped paper. I just paper pieced the chair and coloured the rest of the image with my SU markers and Promarkers. I cut the image out using a Nestability die and sponged the edges with Concord Crush ink.

To create the sketch required I used another piece of the striped paper and also added a sentiment and butterfly from the retired 'So Happy for You' set.
