Thank you card - Moving along with the times Challenge 15

I made this card on Sunday and posted it yesterday so I am hoping it will have arrived at it's destination by the time this post appears on Blogger.

I made this cute card using my new Lili of the Valley stamp I bought at Ally Pally a few weeks ago. It was
the first time I had inked the stamp up after mounting it on my Ezi - mount and it stamped beautifully. The image was so crisp and clear. I made a card with Heidi's sketch for the Moving Along with the times blog challenge.
The challenge element this week is Paper piecing so I paper pieced the cushion on the swing and part of the girl's clothes. I coloured the rest of the image with Promarkers and the sentiment is Elzybells. I used My Minds Eye papers for all the matting and layering. I loved using so many different patterns on the card. The layers really show them off and I hope they coordinate well. I decide to use Bling instead of strips of card or ribbon for the finishing touch, a decision I nearly regretted as it was virtually impossible to get them in a neat straight row but hopefully they don't look too scruffy! I have loads more bits and pieces to catch up on and some new Kraftin Kimmie stamps to play with but not much energy at the moment! Hopefully I will feel better as the week goes on.

  3. Hi Jane, Thank you so much for this card, it is beautiful! The paper piecing pieces are amazing as they aren't obvious at all, it is done so professionally, so is the colouring...I checked the dog to see if it was paper too, but it's just well coloured! It is fantastic and was a lovely surprise, thank you!
