I made this card for a friend's birthday using a preloved stamp I've recently bought as it's perfect for paper pieceing.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white matt card blank
Woodware 'Bold Blooms - Vivian' stamp
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Lili of the Valley 'Heartfelt' paper
Snippet of white matt card
I put a piece of white matt card into my MISTI and stamped the flower onto it before setting it aside. So I could ensure the leaves (which are separate stamps) were in the right place, I cut a scrap of paper to the same size as the white card and stamped the flower again and then stamped the leaves. When I was happy the leaves were in the right position I removed the scrap of paper and replaced the card into my MISTI to stamp the leaves. The panel was trimmed, layered onto green paper and attached to the card blank. I stamped the flowers onto a snippet of pink paper and the leaves onto a snippet of green paper. These were fussy cut and paper pieced onto the card. I stamped the sentiment onto a small snippet of white card, stamping a couple of times to get a good depth of colour. This was trimmed and attached to the card with foam tape.

That's a wonderful bold bloom using this new to you pre-loved stamp Kath, and love the papers you chose to use for the paper piecing and love the coordinating green matted layer and sentiment strip you added...a beautiful card. x
It's a lovely clean cut image Kath and certainly does lend itself to paper piecing, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.
