Paper Pieced Flower

Flower Card

I love the concept of paper piecing. There is a challenge using paper piecing on Clear it out Tuesday. I have chosen a simple stamped design to work with for now and will try something more complicated when I get some confidence. This card has a lot of elements. The "Miracles Happen" sentiment is a sticker. The charm is a dragonfly and the center of the flower is made of pink pearls. I went with a pink and orange color theme for a challenge on Designed 2 Delight. I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

By the Cute and Girly - "in the garden"
A Gem of a Challenge - "bloomin charmin"
The Emerald Fairy Garden - #3 "petals"
Top Tip Tuesday - #38 "open"
