SSCB#21 Paper Piecing

This is my 100 hour card.  To start with, it was paper pieced and I kept loosing the little leaves. I got it all together and messed it all up when I stamped the sentiment. (Will I ever learn?) Then I went to trim the card before gluing it together when I cut on the fold. Well that won't work. It went downhill from there, but I stuck with it.

I made this card for Serendipity Challenge #21, Paper Piecing.

Stamps:  Serendipity, Paper Trey Ink (Sentiment)
Martha Stewart Punch
Spellbinder Die
Lil' Inkers design die (bow)
The paper is from my scrap bin.

Whew!

Fluttering By to Say Hi.

I had a wonderful day.  I took a vacation day, went to lunch and a movie with my daughter and played with my toys the rest of the day.  I thought I'd do something a little cheery.

My little ladybug turned out rather chubby. I saw something similar a couple years ago, but I don't remember where.  I used my Spellbinder dies to cut and piece lady together, then dressed her up with some white and black perils. The little white flowers were torn from and boarder strip I purchased eons ago.  For the antennas, I used the letter "C" from an Accucut die.

After I finished her, I used a Martha Steward Punch and placed a black rickrack for a under it to make it pop a little. I also put a couple of black pop dots under her wings. The sentiment, "Just Fluttering By to Say Hi!" is from My Sentiments Exactly. The pretty red DP is from Paper Trey Ink.

Have a great weekend everyone!
