PAPER PIECING

I have been having fun paper-piecing.  I made this card using a Heidi Grace Stamp.  I stamped portions of the stamp on different papers, cut them out then embellished them and pieced them on top of the original stamp.  The base card is a 5.5" square made from Doodlebug Designs double sided paper flowers/pink polka dots
