I also wanted to play in the Wee Memories challenge for the week, which is paper piecing.
I LOVE paper piecing! It may be my favorite stamping technique. Here's what I came up with for these two challenges:
This card has so much of what I love! Scattered Showers stamp set from Papertrey Ink, Fiskars grass border punch, paper piecing, polka dots, dies, and a little bling.
I die cut the clouds from the white cardstock and matted it with the grey patterned paper so it could peek out from behind. I paper-pieced the umbrella using Bitty Dot Basics from PTI. After I secured everything and stamped the sentiment, I felt like there was too much white space, so I added the silver beads to resemble rain drops. I was really happy with how it turned out.
Here's the inside:
I hope you have some time to play along with these two challenges! Thanks for taking the time to visit My Happy Place!
