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!

Paper Piecing with Lawn Fawn

Challenge #4 at Lawnscaping Challenge is to do some paper piecing on your card or project. I decided to ink up another Lawn Fawn set--Sew Lovely--that I've been hoarding for a while and used the same set of papers as on this card since there were leftover scraps.

After paper piecing the dress form, I decided to do a button banner but just now realize that those are HUGE buttons that look more like dinner plates? Hmmm.....

The "stars" in the background were made them with the asterisk (*) symbol from Harold's ABCs and Papertrey Ink's Vintage Cream ink. How's that for getting the most from your stamps?







Hope you're having a sunny weekend! Thanks, always, for stopping by.
