Just Us Girls #295 - Wild Card

This time at Just Us Girls it's a Wild Card Week.  Hi, Sharyn here and it's my turn to be your hostess. I have chosen an oldie but a goodie as our inspiration - Paper Piecing.  Paper piecing brings back fun memories of playing with paper dolls when I was a child.  I hope you will enjoy it too!

This is our last week with Tenia as our GD.  I would like to thank her for sharing her wonderful talent with us.  Thanks, Tenia!  I hope you will come back and play with us again.

Here's my card

I always tend to reach for these adorable Diva stamps when I paper piece....just like paper dolls.  I used a red and white gingham paper for the Diva and a pretty flowered pattern for the background. The die cuts are from Spellbinders and the clouds are from The Cat's Pajamas.

This was just a quick one I made using a pretty flower stamp from the A Year Of Flowers set.  I used patterned paper from the Smitten paper pack.  I used a Copic Multiliner  black pen to draw the stitching on the background.  I added a happy "hello".....love this font!  Also, added some buttons from my stash.
