It's time for another challenge at
Here's the challenge
and there's a prize for the winning card!
I have a love/hate relationship with Decorative Paper.
I love to buy it.
Hate to use it.
So I dipped into my hoard stash and found some Fall colored papers.
It didn't hurt at all.
The rest of the Design Team has some awesome inspiration
and we have a fantastic Guest Designer too
so do go check out the challenge.
I hope you'll pull out some of your papers and join us at

Oh, such a pretty flower Bonnie! I love the PP you chose for it! Another great CAS design from you! Have a lovely weekend my friend! Hazel xx
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of patterned papers for your pretty fall flower, Bonnie. Great job with the challenge. Hope you are staying dry and safe from the storm. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. That stamp just lends itself to paper piecing. The colours are perfect for autumn Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteThe dsp you chose is perfect for this flower--beautiful! Also, Happy World Cardmaking Day!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so lovely! I adore patterned paper too and used to be just like you, buying it but loathing to use it! Not any more, I enjoy using it up...so that I can buy some more lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use for designer paper. I go through the same thing -- buy because I like it but never know an interesting way to use it....now I do! Thanks as always for another great idea and good looking sample of success....
ReplyDeleteLove your paper piecing, such pretty colours and papers and of course the finished result.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paper-pieced flower. Love your card.
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly like you, Bonnie, when it comes to dp - love/hate relationship sums it right up! I made a goal this year to make one card a week using up some of my stash - but didn't manage to stick to it! So I might need to cull some more! Or try lots of paper piecing - not a technique I do very often, but I sure do like your results so must give it a try. You chose such a perfect paper for your gorgeous autumn flower!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, what a lovely image, so patiently fussy cut and pieced together, just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow, about DSP.....I think like you, I love some of the designs but sometimes the images on both sides are so beautiful that I HATE condemning one side to eternal obscurity so, I don't buy it, if I by decorative paper IT MUST BE ONE SIDED, PERIOD!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card
Beautifully made Bonnie!

Good job using that DSP, Bonnie. Your petals made up of flowered paper is nothing short of genius and I love the scoring, too! This card just sings!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBeautiful patterned papers and I love your CAS design! You did a great job paper piecing the flower, too! Stunning card, Bonnie...as always! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at ATSM!
ReplyDeleteThis is very, very nice! I adore that paper you used for the leaves and stem.
ReplyDeleteYour paper pieced flower is so pretty, just perfect, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely card Bonnie. The papers are very pretty. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie - this flower is so beautiful, and what perfect cutting and layering. Love the green text paper - a great idea for leaves!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week - Sylvia xx
What a beautiful flower .... gorgeous papers. Well done you for dipping into that stash ..... I know exactly how you feel!! xx
ReplyDeleteTHis is beautiful, Bonnie! It looks like fabric pieces! Happy Sunday! Go my SU box too! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL, you crack me up! I'm a paper hoarder too but hate to use it mainly, I think, because I find it hard to incorporate into a CAS card. Too many possibilities! Your card is perfection--love how the embossing created a layered effect

This is beautiful paper piecing Bonnie and I love the papers you have used and the little twine bow and sentiment finish it so prettily. The embossed lines are so elegant too. x
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful job of paper piecing! Love this card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Bonnie, have a fair amount of patterned paper but very rarely use it. I must try this more often when I seek out good stamps for the technique. Your flower and stem look great paper pieced, love the scoring detail too. Thanks for also linking up at ATSM x
ReplyDeleteI think this is darling, Bonnie. Very country/rustic, and I mean that in a good way.
