Paper Pieced Flower!

Hey Girls! How is everyone's start of the week going? I managed yesterday to nearly get the inside of my house in order, and have to say that it felt good too, even though I was completely knackered at the end of it..LOL.

This week I will be sharing many of the cards that I created at the weekend, I had a lot of fun just coming and going from the craft room and having the mojo on my side was great too.

This is one of the cards that I created.

I took a some Eggshell Layering paper, trimmed it to size and took the Old Letter Writing background stamp, inking it with some Soft Sand ink, stamping over the top of the layering paper, then sewing around the edge of the paper. Taking some patterned paper from My Minds Eye, Rose & Stella, Gertie collection and stamping two of the flowers from the Four Flowers stamp set, as well as two leaves from the Layered Flowers stamp set, trimming each of the stamped images out, adhering the smaller flower to the centre of the larger flower. I attached the leaves to the flower, adding foam dimensionals and adhering to the layering paper. Next, trimming some white card stock to form a tag, rounding the corners of 2 of the tag and stamping a sentiment from the Sending Smile Message stamp set. I then adhered the layering paper to some trimmed pink card stock, then onto a Snow card, adding pearls to complete the card.

I loved making this card and feel that I will be making more of these in the future, paper piecing is fun, yet quick to.

Okay so that is the creation for today, hope you enjoy.

See you all tomorrow!

Hugs

Haha, love your "completely knackered" comment! I'm thinking that would be the same as me saying I'm "completely exhausted". Love your card, the colors are so soft and serene.
