Happy Birthday paper pieced flowers

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

As soon as I saw the die used in today's card, I knew I wanted to try this technique of piecing the flowers with different colours. It took a bit of time cutting the die in different colours (this time I chose light, spring colours) and then putting the petals back - it's a good job I enjoy jigsaw puzzles!

 I'm quite pleased with the effect and of course I've got the different coloured die cut frames which will hopefully feature in future projects. 

Items used:

Dies: Lisa Horton, Hunkydory, Paper Boutique

Ribbon, button, gem
