Paper Pieced Bird Cage

Monday is Splitcoast's Clean and Simple challenge day - my favorite (non Gingersnaps) challenge! I was in danger of missing it because of an emergency visit to the vet with my friend's dog, who we are looking after. Thankfully, all is well and I finally finished my card at 8pm.


The challenge is to use paper piecing on a clean and simple card. It turned out rather understated, but I like it nonetheless.


The bird cage stamp is from B Line Designs and the sentiment is Amuse. The patterned paper is a 6x6 pad called Queen Bee by Pink Paislee.

That's all for now - off to give the poorly dog his medicine :(

Have a good night!

    Hi Ali
    Clean and simple can be so tricky to execute but not in your hands.
    Like the way you paper pieced the birdcage.

    Very pretty and the paper piecing makes it so impactful!

    P.S. Hope the pup is doing okay.
