I've been wanting to use this apron stamp by Lockhart stamps - it lends itself so well to being paper pieced. I used Cosmo Cricket DP's - Early Bird and Girl Friday. I left the ends of the twill loose like apron strings.

Julia, you really nailed this one. I loved those aprons but had no inspiration of how to represent them. You have the PERFECT stamp to do the job. Great look in the way you used paper piecing. Also, your ruffle using the same DP with the eyelet punch- fab!

Love the combo of papers you've incorporated into your design - and that apron is so darn cute! You'll be able to dress it up in SO many ways! Great card!

What an adorable paper pieced apron (FYI this would work great for the Household challenge at the Moxie Fab World blog too) ... fantastic inspired design.
