Scrappy Sweet Creations: Fred She Said

Happy Tuesday!
I completely forgot to post my Tuesday Throwdown DT card today! Oops :)
So it's a little late...no biggie right?

This week our challenge is paper piecing! I see so many wonderful paper pieced cards every day, that I wish I was better at it or remembered to do it more often. But it's one of those things I forget about so often. And most of my papers have patterns that are too big for paper piecing. But I worked it out for this card, and I think it turned out pretty darn good.

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Fred She Said, and they have provided some adorable images for us to use on our cards. I chose Emma Blowing Bubbles. She looked so cute and springy, I just had to use her.

I used my scallop scissors to cut around the image and added glitter to all her bubbles. Wrapped a light blue ribbon and bow around the card and then finished it all off with some purple liquid pearls in the corners.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's cards as they have done an absolutely fabulous job paper piecing on their cards! Gorgeous work!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!!
I seriously have a love/hate relationship with Friday mornings...I absolutely love that-hello-it's Friday! For the next 2 mornings, I can stay up till 2 am and sleep in till ~~noon~~ 8 (our cats aren't that generous...don't mess with their breakfast time!) But at the same time, I hate getting out of my nice warm bed...I just want to lay there and snuggle with my hubby and let the weekend begin. But I know that can't happen, so I roll out of bed and make him breakfast. And thus starts my day :)

I figured, since I'm up I should share something with you! And since I finished this card yesterday, it's perfect for this post.

Isn't that image precious?! It's Petunias and Hummingbird from Fred She Said and it is so adorable! I went with a soft pink and white color scheme and I think it really worked for this card. Pink seems to be a favorite color of mine to use on cards. Which is weird because I'm not a huge pink fan...

To go with the image, I made up a couple of flowers. The large one took me a while to work out. I tried a different style of petunia first and it turned out awful...so I went with a different style. I used my copics to streak some color through the middle of the layers and then glued them all together with a pearl in the center.

I used my large daisy punch to make the daisy's and added some paint and tiny beads to the centers. The little pink glittery stamens were supposed to be used in the center of my first petunia, but since that flopped I decided they would work well tucked behind the flowers for a little flourish.
