Crafty Secret's DT Challenge....Paper Piecing!

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Easter! Today the Crafty Secret's DT is using paper piecing on their cards. I love paper piecing because it creates such wonderful texture to things that can be difficult to achieve with markers or pencils alone. For my card today I used the Little Boy stamp set by Crafty Secrets. I paper pieced the kite using paper from K & Company, added glossy accents to it, and sprinkled a generous helping of glitter. (Maybe I should have refrained from using glitter? Since it is a boy's card? .......................nah!) His clothes were also paper pieced. Before adhering the clothes, I inked the edges a bit to give it a bit of depth.
Sometimes the little things make a card special....... so I try to keep that in mind when I am creating. So for the kite, I added string to his "kite holder." Is there a technical term for that thingy? ; )
