Crazy 4 Challenges! Beautiful Just the Way You Are

Happy Saturday!   It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C197).  

This week's challenge is all about 
paper piecing! 

For my card I am using Verve's Beautiful Plain Jane, Bountiful Backgrounds, Blue Skies, and Love Notes stamp sets.  I combined these sets with some Verve's Cut Above Occasion Frame, Classy Label, and All Aflutter die sets.  I am playing along with this 

For the paper piecing challenge,  I decided to take a different paper piecing approach.  I just love all the quatrefoil dies that are popping up all over.  If you have had a chance to play with one of these dies, you know that it is fun fun to paper piece all those little sections back into the frame in various patterns.  That is exactly what I did here.  I combined various patterns from Simple Stories Vintage Bliss dp.   I die cut a frame using my Lifestyles Trelis border die.  I then added all the little die cut paper pieces from the various pattern papers.  I stamped and layered my Verve frames.   I added a copic colored Verve All Aflutter butterfly topped with some sparkle.  I finished with a seam binding bow topped with button using Verve's Cut Above Spring Fling Ribbon Collection in Aqua.  

I am playing along with a few other blog challenges this week.  I am playing with the Curtain Calls Color Inspiration Challenge.   Thought these colors worked perfectly with the inspiration picture.   I am playing along with Moxie Fab Worlds Tuesday Trigger:  It's Collagical!  I think this trelis background with the patterns I chose work perfectly for a modern take on a colligical feel!  I am also playing along with the Friday MashUp!  It is all about polka dots!
