What I am loving about being part of this challenge is that I am using colors that I would normally not think to put together! I also used some of my new Lawn Fawn stamps!! Just got them in the mail and couldn't WAIT to break into them! They are SO SO cute, and they stamp wonderfully! Check out the Lawn Fawn Blog, and a link to the stamp set will be in my supply list! I also used FTL 84 from the Clean & Simple Stamping blog for this one...such a fab sketch! And last, but not least...I did this with the Moxie Fab "Picking Up The Pieces" challenge in mind. I hope to get another card with more elaborate paper piecing done, but if not...I still got the challenge done!
