Paper Piecing

This is my first try at paper piecing. I took this image from Free Pretty Things for You
I created this card with paper piecing:
I used lace for her little dress, yarn for her hair, a 3d rose for her flower, added a little butterfly (part of a flower) dew drops thingies for her collar, distressed with tim holtz inks the background and debossed it and decided she would make a perfect birthday card for a little girl. I am actually entering my first challenge with Simon Says Challenge. Wish me luck.
Living in God's Graces,
