Sanding & Paper Piecing with CPS

Another Friday night in the craft room, this time with Barbara!  So with the windows open and the music cranked, we set out for our crafty evening ... this time I used CPS Challenge #160, which is a sketch, as my inspiration. 

  
Barbara and I had a great laugh when I went to adhere my image to the card.  Ummm ... it was too big!   So I didn't quite get the horizontal element in but I did add a ribbon bow to the card.  So here is what I came up with ...

I used CTMH cardstock and sanded the paper after I embossed it so that the core would show through.  I love their cardstock, specifically because all of the cardstock has white core.  I also had quite a fun time paper piecing this card.
