As I thought, I had to make another card with the leftover pieces of paper from my last card (THIS post)!!  It’s very similar to the other card but uses a slight,y different layout and arrangement – also I decided to pop the clouds up this time for variation!!

The challenge this week over at Casual Fridays is also appropriate for this card as they are asking us to stamp on designer paper!  I think I stamped on quite a few DP’s for this card,lol!!

When I saw that this week’s Make it Monday technique was paper piecing I knew I had to join in!  I love paper piecing but it is time-consuming and a wee bit fiddly – so I often don’t do it!  However, it has been in my head to paper piece the castle image from Little Princess ever since I got it so I thought this would be the perfect occasion!

I had so much fun with this card and have all the little bits of castle that didn’t go on this card sitting in a pile so I may just make a few more while I’m at it!  Doesn’t the font go beautifully with this design too?  I am going to make so much use of that sentiment set (Happy Days) from Clearly Besotted – it’s SOO useful !!

Shoes and bags!  Well, not if they all looked like these anyway!  I used the Stepping Out and Basic Banners stamp sets from Clearly Besotted and inked them is varying shades of aqua (the birthday girl’s favourite colour). I also broke out my new Modern Borders set from Mama Elephant – been after this set for a while so when I saw it come back in stock, in my basket it went!!

The lighting just wasn’t right when I tried to photograph this card so apologies if it looks a wee bit bleached!  Can you see the shimmer on the shoes?  I used a Zig Wink of Stella clear brush pen – lush!
