Season's Greetings
Hello crafters! I selected a piece of white card to use for the background. I cut two of the Jewelled Scalloped Border in white. I nipped away everything but the scrolly edges and glued them to each side of the card. I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Songbird in white. I used Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress ink to colour it. I cut the middle die in white and added it to the outer die cut. I cut the Songbird die in black to use as the base, then I paper pieced it using green, deep red, sky blue, brown, red and white card. I layered up all the pieces then added it to the centre of the card. I cut the sentiment from the Christmas Wordie sheets. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
A lovely card, very pretty colours and the border is gorgeous.

Well Sue this is beautiful absolutely beautiful. Every colour used makes the whole design 'pop' it's really festive. I'm not sure if it was Vonnie, but a blog friend mentioned how relaxing paper piecing can be, to that I totally agree especially when you've given us larger pieces to piece, I've turned the air blue at times when I've tried every hack, every trick and tool to piece the weeny bits and on some occasions its taken days to complete as most of us have some form of pain in our hands/fingers or both, so to have the joy and relaxation of being able to complete a Stained Glass design in a day is brilliant for me at least.
Hope everyone is coping with the sticky heat in the UK and love to all that visit this beautiful place xxx

Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card today & a very therapeutic way to create such a beautiful piece with paper piecing. Yes Steph I do love taking time to paper piecing & find it certainly makes me relax, I use cut & tidy to sandwich my card with die on top & cut. This keeps all the die cut in place for me to pick up & attach to card,hopefully that will help you. Yvonne xx
