The challenge this week was to incorporate paper piecing (which I did for the bird's wings and the bottom flower) and also to use dimension - which, again, I raised up the bird's wing and the flower. Thanks for looking. My blog.

Beautifully coordinated Kathy. I love the raised wing and flowers matching the bg paper and that olivey (word?) green in the bg paper is a perfect balance with the turquoise. Very springy and pretty.

What an adorable blue birdee! This is a sweet card with an awesome mix of papers and colors (has a monochromatic feel - so cool).

So pretty and I love the bright happy colors. Your paper pieced wings really set the little bird off. That turquoise is one of my favorite colors. Kathy, I am glad you were able to play a long with the TSC this week. It is always good to have you join us.
