Sunflowers and Dragonflies Saturday Blog Hop!

Welcome to the first Sunflowers and Dragonflies Saturday Blog Hop!


The S&D Design Team will be holding a Hop every Saturday to display our challenge projects. This week's challenge theme is Paper Piecing!


Of course we'd love for you to participate in our challenges using stamps from Sunflowers and Dragonflies, but if you're still waiting for your order to come in the mail free free to use other stamps for now.


So, you're probably wondering what's in it for you if you participate right? Well, how about a Nestability set. That right, a Nestability set! Beth, the owner of Sunflowers and Dragonflies is giving away a set of Nestabilities to one lucky challenge participant every week!
All you have to do is participate in the challenge and leave a link to your project. For an extra entry, make sure to use a Sunflowers and Dragonflies image on your project!


Here's my paper piecing challenge card.



I used the Canada Beaver stamp for this project. Isn't he cute? I just love the jolly look on his face!


I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils and blended the colors with Gamsol. I paper pieced his jersey shirt with paper from DCVW.
