It wasn’t my intention to make any cards this weekend but an email arrived from a friend who is having a hard time, a new challenge showed up and I have a new die to play with so here it is.
The die is my win from a recent challenge and is by Stamplorations. I wanted to try it out and I thought paper piecing would work for the challenge and make a nice card to send my friend. I can’t believe I decided to paper piece such an intricate die but all things considered it turned out quite well. I ended the design by spraying with Perfect Pearls shimmer as it had a bit of stickiness on top of the card front and I thought this would work to help with that. I was a bit heavy handed in my spraying but the shimmer is pretty never-the-less. I added a sentiment heat embossed on vellum in white to finish it.

It certainly did turn out great! Beautiful card, Johanna!

Glad you like it Jan. It took me most of today to put it together as I’m sure you can imagine.

Thanks Gayle – to be honest at one point I wondered what I was thinking in paper piecing something so intricate as the tiny bits were so challenging. But it worked and I have popped it into the mail already.

I like the shimmer myself although there is a lot more than I intended. Good way to meet a colour challenge, but extremely time consuming and fiddly
