Circle Shaped Card with Paper Pieced Image

    My favorite image at the moment is this digi from A Day for Daisies. I just had to have her because I like to paper piece, and she's so perfect for this technique!

    I started my card by choosing the paper for her dress, then I planned the design and what other papers and colors to use.
    It's been a while since I made a circle shaped card, and I do like circle shaped cards - I don't know why I don't make them more often. I chose the size of the circle die with care as I wanted the die cut square (made with a Spellbinders die) to go over the edge of the card base.

    I chose to mount the girl on foam to a glitter paper die cut clock (made with a Marianne Designs die).
    For the background I've used a cream colored paper with golden spots from Panduro.
    For embellishments I've used some punched butterflies and a flower.
