Just a quick post--I'm playing along with another Flourishes Release Week challenge. Today's is the "Show Me" Challenge, to create a project using one of the techniques from the Flourishes Tutorial Library. I was inspired by this fantastic tutorial on paper piecing by Iwona Palmountain and used this fun technique to paper piece the tree skirt, ornaments, and sentiment label on this card:
The tree image, ornaments, and sentiment come from Flourishes' now-retired O Christmas Tree set. The pretty label is from Country Charm Labels. The patterned papers I used on today's card are digital papers from Echo Park Paper Co.'s Dots & Stripes Metropolitan hybrid paper pack.
I loved decorating this little tree. It kinda reminds me of the Charlie Brown tree! All it needed was a little love. :)
Thanks for checking out my little slice of bliss today!

Your Charlie Brown tree looks much loved with all that paper piecing! Very cute! And again with those beautiful labels! I checked on them myself, and they are out of stock! Will keep checking, as I love them!

I love your card, Emily - shades of the old "country" style!
Yes, I was thinking 'Charlie Brown' too! Hee hee. It sure is a cute little tree, and it is wearing the most festive polka dotted skirt. ;)
Emily, this is the cutest little tree ever. Charlie Brown tree, for sure. I love it. Plus, the tree skirt in polka dots is great. What an adorable card.
This is gorgeous, Emily! Your stitching is so perfect!!
I love this card Emily-the paper piecing looks fantastic-looks like your mojo is back in full swing

Yes, this is the perfectly loved Charlie Brown tree--especially with that darling little tree skirt!
*love*! And it's totally a Charlie Brown tree. We try to make ours look like that every year (and cheap artificial trees do that look very well! lol)
I like the polka-dot ornaments, and the stitching is lovely. Yay for mojo returning???
