All you need is LOVE


Hello there! I decided to take the plunge and enter Ribbon Carousel's latest challenge to incorporate paper piecing on your card.

The sponsor for the challenge is Birdie Brown. I happened to have a collection of her cute digis, and a TON of patterned paper so the decision to enter was an easy one.


Here's my card using two of Torico's adorable images found in her Etsy store. Truth be told, I originally colored both images with Copics, but I wasn't completely happy with the way the umbrella turned out. Paper piecing it made me happy, and fit the requirement for the challenge!

I added a bit of twine and drew in some faux stitching lines. Although you can't see it, there's a bit of Glossy Accents on the raindrop and the little smiley face, too.

I hope you're all having a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by!
