Belated BD Card with Paper Piecing

Looks like this sweet sloth is all partied out!!  Awwww.....

Hi, Friends......

I am here to share a really fun belated birthday card. Maybe you are like I am....make tons of cards and can't get one sent in a timely manner! I slipped up on every August birthday on my list....arrrgh. Not sure where my energy went, but I think the heat really got to me.

One of the birthdays that I am going to celebrate with a late card and gift is for my very own daughter!! (How bad of a Mom am I!!! lol...) Actually, that one was by design...because I wanted to use this adorable LF sloth set from Di Wray (THANKS, Di!!!) which is perfect for a belated card. My daughter loves sloths!! She doesn't read my blog, so I am safe posting this right away. :)

I am entering this card in the Winnie & Walter August Color Combo Challenge - Any Palette Goes. Autumn tones of green are my daughter's favorite color, so I chose this muted palette for my card:

I got brave and tried paper piecing the sloth with scraps from my stash. I even had a grassland piece to use for the critter's hairy little body!

I rarely do piecing....because I am soooooo SLOW!  Ha!  But this was really fun.  

Products used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Lawn Fawn - Hang in There stamp set
Lawn Fawn - Hang in There die set
Versafine ink in Onyx Black
Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze Gel Pens - 10 Pack (black for eyes)
Distress Marker in Walnut Stain to ink edges of pieces
DCWV scraps from stash
Twine from stash

Hope you liked my card. I think my daughter is going to love it!! (If I ever manage to get it to her...lol!)
