Paper Pieced Thank You

Hello everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you a paper pieced card I made for a friend. I totally LOVE paper piecing because it just makes all the details on the card so cohesive. It's weird that I like it so much, because I hate cutting lol. Yes, I said it, I hate cutting. I'd rather color than cut any day! lol 
I used one of my Greeting Farm Stamps again, since I'm trying to use little by little all the stamps that I have collected from the Farm, but have not used. This one is the same image I used for the card HERE
I'm making it an issue to practice coloring black hair, because it's still giving me a bit of trouble. Don't know why. Maybe because I want  the hair to look dark and not white...I struggle specifically when there is a small area I need to color...I bet if the hair was way bigger I would do a better job, because I tend to color better in long strokes than in short ones...mmmm....that's something I need to try (get a stamp with bigger hair and try coloring it black). I will put it in my to do list hehe.
I used The Vanity Fair Paper Collection by My Mind's Eye, some Stampin up punches (medium oval, large scallop oval and label punch), as well as a Stampin up Sentiment. I also used my oval Nestabilities dies as well as my scallop oval Nestabilities die. I sneaked in my new favorite Martha Stewart Leaf punch (seem to want to use it on everything), some Want to Scrap Black Bling, two clay roses I got in a rak from a friend, and some mulberry paper flowers. The lace in the back was also received in a rak (Random Act of Kindness), and I love the color of it, just perfect for this card.
On the inside, just some layering of the paper, with enough room to write a sentiment. This card is my response to Jo and Rina's paper piecing challenge for the week. Hope you like it. I have a mini Album to share on my next post. You don't want to miss it :)

  3. Supre cute card Sharon. Paper piecing is my favorite. You should know that by now. The hair looks great to me, but maybe since I don't color or stamp I can't see what you are. I wonder how long your to do list is? I have given up on writing things down to do. I tend to keep adding and then jumping to something completely off the list. LOL. Can't wait to see the mini. ANA

Thanks again Sharon for the goodies - and of course THIS beautiful card - sometimes when we see other peoples creations in pictures - it doesn't do it justice when you see them in person! It is the most detailed card I've ever received! :o) Kari

    1. I'm glad you liked it Kari. I love details on a card. I think I got that part down. As soon as I get my Copic Coloring in small spaces in line, I think it will be the perfect combination. Thanks for topping by the blog today :)
