I find it so much fun making a card for someone somewhere else in the world. I think we're making friends one card at a time.
The challenge for the April Card Chain Challenge was to use at one of the options below, from Color Palette, Sketch Option, Theme Options to Product/Technique Options. It's all your choice. The new challenge for May is already up at Card Chain Challenge
I hadn't done any paper piecing for some time and I thought now is the time and I chose a Julie Nutting gal again. It's a 2014 copyrighted stamp set without a name and I searched for an hour to see if I could find a name and hopefully I found the right stamp name of "for you".
Yes, I cut the dolls and dresses out by hand.
This is actually the first time I've used this stamp since I purchased it. Shame on me. The bees are a brand new set so I mixed some old with some new. The lovely background is from an old calendar with such pretty pictures. I thought it worked out well for a backdrop.
I cut up clear plastic from those take out clear plastic boxes you sometimes get from restaurants and keep them on hand for making clear sticks to back anything that needs a sturdy see-through base. It worked out well for these ladies and the bees. You can see them clearly here, but they really do blend in well in real life.
