The BasicGrey Challenges blog has done it again. Christine provided a wonderful sketch found here. I had so much fun making this card! I paper pieced even more than I did on yesterday's card; I pieced the dress, pot, leaves, flowers, and even those four small flowers in the corners of the stamp frame (Iused a white gel pen to make the centers white). You may think this much paper piecing is a form of torture, but sometimes it just has to be done :)Recipe:
decorative papers: BasicGrey Oh, Baby Boy!
stamp: My Favorite Things
cardstock: white Georgia Pacific (Wal-Mart)
flowers: green (Michael's); white (Prima from LFL "lovely friend Lauren")
brad: Stampin' Up! Build-A-Brad
rub-ons: ("for mom") American Crafts Kate font
ribbon: Making Memories woven ribbon
scallop squares: Nestibilities
other: Stampin' Up! dimensionals and scallop border punch

Hi June, I love everything about your beautiful card and I'm so glad you liked the sketch. All that paper piecing, my goodness it looks amazing. The photograph is superb too. Hope you're having a great weekend. Hugs, Chris
Wow--and I thought of not finding another fabulous headless lady card. This is a great layout, and the paper's colors and prints scream "Mother's Day"! Good job coordinating all the elements which appears to be your natural talent and one of many.
This is awesome, June!! All the piecing is fantastic!
I am totally impressed at the amount of paper piecing going on in this card...and it looks fabulous too! I can't decide which headless lady I like the best :)

Crikey, another stunner! What a wonderful visit I'm having to your blog this morning. The choice of colour and papers is superb. The piecing isn't half bad either... it looks beautiful.
