Paper Dolls Challenge #31


This card is for my blog group's challenge from a couple of weeks ago.  I'm trying to catch up!  Laurie challenged us with:

1.  Use a flower set, if you have it Papertrey Ink, Year of the Flowers set.
2.  Use a designer paper.  If you don't have any, make your own. 
3.  Use at least three different colors.

I love to paper-piece the flowers from PTI's Flower Garden set, so I knew that was the set I was going to use.  I don't own any of the Year of Flowers sets, and quickly turn my head away when I see someone create something fabulous.  And I scream, "No, No, NO...I don't want that set!"  We'll see how long I can keep it up.  

Here's my card:

I love that patterned paper.  All of it is from Bo Bunny and was part of a free pad I received at Archivers.  I've never used it, because I have a problem using my patterned paper. (I'm on Step 2 of the 12 Step program for this.)

I cut out the flowers and leaves by hand but would not mind a die set for Flower Garden!  (LISA JOHNSON- are you reading this?) Who am I kidding...she's not.

Here's the inside:


Come along and play with the Dolls on our challenges.  We'll have a new one this week AND we have a big BLOG HOP planned to start on March 9th.  Fun!  Click here for our blog and join the fun!

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

I love how you puffed up the flowers. You did a great job with the colors!

Amy Kolling said...

You did an amazing job cutting all those flowers and leaves out! I love this set too. Those flowers look fantastic grouped/layered together with their button centers! :) (I bought this set because of you!)

So pretty- I love the way those flowers look when paper pieced!

Lovely card, Lee Anne! You did a great job paper-piecing the flowers. I don't have the Flower Garden set so it's my turn to look away and say "No, no, no! I don't need it!" But, your card is definitely tempting me to add it to my cart! :-)

This is really pretty, Lee Anne! I love the mixture of patterned papers, and the paper pieced flowers. And some day I WILL own that stamp set lol!

Keva said...

Rebecca said...

What a cute card. I love that paper too! Those colors are beautiful.

Jen Adcock said...

Wow! This is so pretty. My eyes popped out (in the good way) when I saw your magnificent card) It is so very well put together. The colors are dreamy and the inside is just perfect.

Laurie HIMCR said...

Kristin said...

I really love your card... and I think I am finally on about step 4 of using my paper :-)

Suzanne said...

Oh LeeAnne this is gorgeous. I LOVE those flowers. I actually thought you did something with paint or shimmer to make them have a glow around them, but now I realize it's a diecut in a slightly lighter shade- so clever! The added bonus is the inside - I never do this cuz I'm lazy! But I love it!

Nerina said...

I love your mix of patterns here - and those gorgeous button centres! I don't have this set - but you make it look VERY tempting!
