Embellish Color Challenge with Paper Piecing

Another chance to use a Pure Innocence image--Yeah! They are one of my favorite paper piecing toys. Part of my PI images are stamps and part are digitals. I think the stamps are so much easier to use when paper piecing but the digitals are great because you can alter the size. Today's is a digital and I made her larger than usual.  My inspiration was a little book I bought some time ago for a friend and her birthday is coming up next week. It is called A Birthday Wish for You by Chris Shea. It is a sweet little story with whimsical drawings about a bouquet of birthday balloons and what each one means. So, of course, my card needed to have a balloon too!

After everything was done except gluing on the main image I realized I had not used the kraft I had intended to use for the base. So a quick change of plans--for her belt, instead of black as I had planned, I braided some twine and created a little kraft belt! The yellow dots were 'recycled' from the confetti all over my desk created by the border punch I used for the background strip.

Hope she will make my friend smile!

So happy you could stop by,
Sharron
