For this week's Demo Challenge - make a card using Paper Piecing.
This is really a simple technique and this card is also quite simple - just time consuming. If this were a Workshop card, I wouldn't do all the flowers that I did - maybe only one or two!!!! There's an awful lot of cutting out on this one.
Still, I would love to know what you think.

Very pretty card! And ideal for demo'ing paper piecing, although I'd probably come with the card mostly assembled and just demo the remaining two pieces.
This is a great way to use those DP scraps, and a great excuse to buy more!

Wow, Cav, this is fantastic!
I love your bouquet--it is so fresh and cheerful. It had never occurred to me to use this stamp set for paper piecing. Actually kind of a "new-to-me" technique, and I just don't think of it that often.
Thanks for a great challenge and a super example.

Stunning card. Makes me think of a wildflower field that you might just catch a glimpse in passing and it takes your breath away. I love everything about this card--favorite dsp, multiple flowers, cardstock and dsp background, words. Just another stunning Time Well Spent.
Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful card. It's well worth the cutting. It's a great way to show customers what to do with leftover d/s/p scraps especially at a time when everybody wants to maximize the value of their purchases.
