sweet miss birgitta

Published by diane (cookiestamper) at 9:19 pm under CC Designs, cards, etc., challenges

Have you seen anything sweeter? I love this girl!

This is Christine’s newest Swiss Pixie…Birgitta! She is so cute with her sunflower. I pulled out some fall papers from the DCWV Indian Summer pack and used the plaid pattern to also paper piece her dress. There’s a new challenge blog that my friend Lisa is a member of called “Just Us Girls” and their new challenge is paper piecing…check it out!

This is a long card…not the usual A2 size card. I started with a 6 1/4 x 7 piece of cardstock and folded it to a 6 1/4 x 3 1/2 inch card. It will fit into a regular letter size envelope.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

stamps- Swiss Pixie Birgitta by C.C. Designs; paper- White, Choc. Chip, DCWV Indian Summer; ink- Memento Black; accessories- EK Success Falling Leaves and Dotted Waves punches, SU! Oval punch, gel pen, pearl stickers.

Wow Diane this is JUST adorable. I love this little girl and the paper piecing is divine! I also love how you punched the border but then used the “leaves” - just fabulous. Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls.

Isn’t she sweet with her pig tails, paper pieced shirt and sunflower?! Your card is fantastic, and so is your coloring!! I love the punched leaves and the pretty pearls, and I especially like how you highlight areas of your image using a white gel pen! Thanks for the inspiration :O)

Sooo happy you could play along with Just Us Girls this weekend! Hope to see you again on Saturday for a fun color challenge!!
