I am uploading my card for the Twisted Sistah Challenge early this week because I will be away. The challenge was to do a card with paper piercing, and dimension, and the dessert, if we wished to, was to add a button!
I stepped out of my comfort zone and made a square card, and stitched a layer of DP on the front. Next I stamped my image and paper pieced her hat and dress after I colored her in with copics, cut that out with a nestie, then made a frame with embossed paper to back up the image with the new ODBD nestie dies. I popped the whole frame up, and the sentiment was stamped and layered, both with nesties, and were popped up with dimensionals. Last, I stamped a flourish and added rhinestones (the buttons didn't work as well!)
This was my back up plan, since my I could not paper piece my original idea for this card. - now I have to buy some square envies!!
Hope you like the way it turned out!

BEAUTIFUL! Love the texture that the paper pieced hat and dress add to this and I adore your gem encrusted flourish. This is a great square card - you need to make more of them!
