I've got a bold, paper-pieced creation for the Just Us Girls Wild Card Week Challenge to use a sentiment as the focal point of our card. I stamped the Sweet Stamp Shop sentiment onto Studio Calico paper and then paper-pieced each part of the banner and letters with different papers from the same collection. I thought it was really fun and bright and was proud of myself for dipping my toe outside of my CAS comfort zone. Then a co-worker said it looked like bacon. And now all I see is bacon. LOL! That might have been cool a year ago but apparently the hipsters have declared that bacon and kale are out. *Sigh* I'm always late to the trends...
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill
Patterned Paper: (Snippets 6x6) Studio Calico
Stamps: (Sentiment from Chalkboard Sign) Sweet Stamp Shop
Ink: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Gems: Recollections

Seriously fun Jen!
Jen, this is so great and a total eyecatcher. Perfect for a challenge where it's all about the sentiment.
LOL now all I see is bacon too, and I want some! Darling card Jen.
I also wanted to thank you for your kind comments in the past it means a lot to me.
I am so glad I am not the only one to see bacon at first! LOL Really a fun looking card...unique! Thanks for sharing your talents with us at Just Us Girls!
what? Bacon is so totally cool.
I didn't initially see bacon but after I read your post I started to see bacon :)
It's a great card!
Bacon, shmacon. I just love this fun, hip card! Thanks for joining us this week at Just Us Girls!
Paper piecing is not my thing to do but yours came out great. I don't really see bacon, just a well done, brightly colored card.
But at least it's bacon amazing! Fun with great colours. Since from your title I was expecting bacon, I don't know if I would have thought it otherwise. I haven't paper-pieced in so long...
Oh how fun!!
Yeah... have to say that I saw bacon too :) Brilliant background paper Jen..real cool comic feel :)
