I made this card for the StampinB challenge this week to use paper piecing and monochromatic blues with one neutral. I happen to be a blue and white fanatic, so this was right up my alley.
I don't know why I came up with the idea of paper piecing this clock. Not a clue, but I did. I used the SU Springtime Vintage dsp for the b/g matting and the paper piecing.
The b/g nestie was adorned with pearls given to me by my SCS and now "real life" friend, AudreyAnn. Thanks for the lovely pearls Audrey!
I used a border punch on the bottom, an ef on the horizontal panel along with some medallion punches with flowers. I found the sentiment in my scrapbook stashes.
Thanks so much for taking a look and if you want to join in the fun of the StampinB challenge, see my signature line and click on Stampin'B to get to the blog.
This also qualifies for the DD Challenge to use punches or nesties!

Pamzi, this is so awesome. I love that flowery clock - what a great idea! This is really so delicate and sweet - love all the details but my fav is the blue flower in the middle and the gazillion pearls you used. I guess you can have your title of pearl queen back now. Hugz.
