I like paper piecing!

I am honored to be invited as a Guest Design Team member for today's challenge of PAPER PIECING at The Crazy Challenge. I used this rubber stamped image from hÄnglar & stÄnglar for my card and the papers are by Pebbles.


This very pretty round die cut/embossing die is by Marianne Designs. After it was cut and dry embossed, I added a little Glossy Accents to the embossed areas and then sprinkled Warm Glitter Ritz over it while still wet. The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley. The 3 pretty pink and clear jewels in the top corner are from Recollections; the silver pearls are from Hobby Lobby and the pink pearls are from Queen & Co. This beautiful lace, that I threaded this pretty pink and silver ribbon through, is from JoAnn's. The butterfly metal charm is tied with a piece of light pink embroidery thread to the bow and the charm is from my collection. I love girly so pretty embellishments, like ribbon and lace, are my favorites. Pearls and sparkly things comes in a close second! And I can't imagine anything more girly than pink...a favorite color of mine.

Here's what she looks like up close. I colored her hair, skin and shoes with Copics.


I'm very honored to be invited to share a card as a GDT at The Crazy Challenge for this PAPER PIECING challenge and hope you'll visit their blog and see the other inspiration made by their Design Team. Thank you, Em, for your invite and helping me get my card posted.

  6. She's an adorable girl, Gail, and I commend you for all the intricate cutting when it came to your paper piecing. Of course, you won't ever hear any complaints from me of using TOO much pink !! You've colored the rest of her up so well (love her shoes), and the ribbon and bow threaded through that luscious lace is so elegant . . . it just doesn't get any more striking than this. An added thanks for submitting your creation to the Love To Scrap challenge blog.

  24. This card is so cute. Love the paper-pieced image, the well-made bow and the over-all lay-out. I'm so happy you joined our Challenge last week and would like to invite you to join us again with our Challenge this week at Word Art Wednesday. Just want to share God's Word to you coming from 1 Peter 1:24-25 which says, "For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you."

    Have a blessed day!
