I'm sure someone is stealing them from me when I'm not looking!
I have to tell you that I really enjoy playing along with the challenges but time restrictions mean I don't always get a chance. However, I particularly wanted to join in with Simon Says Stamp Paper Piecing Challenge as I'm a "paper piecing virgin" ... or should I say WAS !!
I PaperPieced these 2 adorable characters using the Woodware Patchwork Giraffes stamp ... isn't it a cutie??
It was stamped onto both plain white card and then again onto patterned paper from Paper Cellar 'Spring' 6" x 6" pad.
I then doodled around the edge of the image with a black fineliner
and added fringed strips of paper grass from the paper leftovers, before adding a few floral adhesive gems and a sentiment decorated with green gingham ribbon.Just hope I'm not too late to join in this week.

Gorgeous card,Dianne xx
Cute giraffe card! I also like your ribbon tree. One could use up bits of ribbon, if keeping to the same main color.

What a smashing card Max. I do love the colours, they are so eye-catching and the giraffs are so cut Also love the way you have used the "grass". I usually run a piece of green paper through the shredder for an inch or so and then trim it.
Hope you are keeping well
love
