My April Bella Challenge

I'm a moderator on a new bella yahoo group and I get to have fun and issue a challenge once a month. How fun!
For this month I was inspired by Sheri's awesome bella card she created for the homepage contest. You can see it here.
So my challenge is to use a stamp from StampingBella.com and create a card that has:

• paper piecing
• bling/sparkle~glitter, shimmerz, rhinestones, etc.
• stitching~ real or faux

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! If you want to play along, I'd love to see your creations too! Just leave me a comment with a link to your card!

I had so much fun with my card. Been a while since I've played with my bellas. For the layout of the card I used a SCS Bella Forum sketch, BSC58. You can also tell from the crooked stitching that I used my sewing machine for my stitching. I so need to practice more with that! My bling is stickles and shimmerz on some of the shopping bags and also glitter pen on her headband.

You can see all the shimmerz and sparkle in this photo!
