Morning -Mojo popped in for a flying visit yesterday and I had a play made two cards and finished one WIP.
I have made a birthday card for a family friend I met at Grandsons birthday party and since then she has always left lovely comments on my cards on FB and I also wanted to join in the Challenge For Kath at Allsorts using paper pieced flowers.
I used a beautiful Chocolate Baroque stamp,a little ladybird stamp from a Pink Frog set and stamped sentiment was a craft mag freebie.Leaves and Ladybird are watercoloured.
I used two different P.papers as the first ones were a bit pale so I used both and offset them, stencils from Stencil Girl and Creative Expressions.

What a special paper you used to paper piece with, lovely effect with this pattern and the stenciled background looks beautiful tool.
a beautiful card love the paper xx
Perfect flowers for paper piecing with the beautiful papers. I love your background, too. It's so very sad about Kath. I didn't know her, but it's evident she was loved.
Oh wow Carol, your flowers are so pretty and elegant on your stenciled background! I love the look with the different papers you've used for the piecing too! I know exactly what you mean about MOJO coming and going...I struggle with it and try to work through it...sometime successful, sometimes not. I think I have too many things going on in my head and can't focus to make something! LOL! Sending HUGS
Wow, I absolutely love the paper piecing. It makes the flower so much more interesting. Cute addition of the ladybug.
Love the background and your paper pieced flower is GORgeous Carol, beautiful card, and so glad your mojo paid a visit, such a lovely entrance..
