Another Paper Piecing Card.

Hello everyone: As always, I'm hoping and prayig that you and your families are doing well, taking care of each other and still wearing your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have another card using the Paper Piecing technique, I had forgotten how much fun it is to fussy cut the images, and, as a bonus, you can use all of those scraps of DSP you just can't bring yourself to throw out, I think most of us hoard these on boxes or bags, in our craft rooms, right?


*************************************************

This is the INSIDE.


And this is what I used.

Stampin' Up! "Fabulous Florets" 2011 (retired).
Sentiment in front panel from Stampin' Up! "Blossoming Basket" (2018)
DSP from my stash.

I want to play with these challenges.
