AEI♥U Challenge – Paper Piecing

Hi, I am playing in the AEI♥U Challenge  - the theme is Paper Piecing. I pulled out one of my favorite Avery Elle sets - Rounded Diamonds and stamped on patterned paper, cutting out the same stamp at different sizes - the largest petals are the entire stamp. I just love the patterns you can create with this stamp! The sentimen t is also by Avery Elle -  All Squared Up I mounted the outer parts of the petals with foam tape, gluing the inner parts to the card stock. That gives it some outward dimension, although you can not see this in the picture. Punched a little circle from the red paper and added it for balance. I like how this turned out! Happy stamping my friends!

I linked his name to his website, where you can see many more pieces better photographed than mine..... --X-- Now here is a real challenge - to pull out those winter stamps when we almost have spring temperatures outside. I seriously thought about skipping this challenge, but then I got over it and made this card. And to keep in line with the KIS challenge - its snowing on my blog.  I actually had so much fun, I made two cards. This is the first one. The sec...
