It is Mixed Media month at CAS Mix Up and Linda has chosen the theme of 'Paper Piecing'.
I have lots of coloured cardstock which I very rarely use as I much prefer crisp white backgrounds for CAS but once I'd decided on which stamp and paper I was going to use I thought I would try a different coloured base.
I stamped the Funky Fossil Lotus Reflections stamp onto the card first, then used the additional flower from the set, stamping and heat embossing onto the patterned paper which is so old I can't remember anything about it!
I also stamped and embossed two of the smaller elements.
The sentiment is from another Lotus set (no packaging so no idea again!) but I think I may have bought it from Amazon.
The thick black line looks really odd on the pic but it is straight and true on the card!
My elements for the challenge are Stamping, Heat Embossing and of course the theme - paper piecing.
Please go visit the challenge blog and my talented team mates and we have Bonnie (Paper Crafter at Large) as our Guest Designer this month too.
Hope to see you linking up your creation in our gallery! x

I love your coloured card base, it adds an extra interest and the paper you have used for your lotus flower is perfect, it give the flower so much added interest. I think I have decided that this is a really good technique for adding interest to a stamp and I must use it more often. Your card is a perfect example of that xx
The paper piecing looks so pretty on the fabulous lotus flower and what a striking card and the coloured cardstock looks wonderful Viv x.
Fabulous card and love the fact you’ve stamped onto coloured card ..great paper piecing of your flower

What fabulous colours, love the stamp and the paper piecing. i have not seen this stamp before but it is very similar to a PB and CB stamp that I have even though they have both 3 flowers on their stamps.

Gorgeous paper for your lotus flower, Viv, and I placing on the teal background makes a stunning card! Have a Happy Easter, my friend!
Nicely done. Using the colored card base was an excellent choice and your fussy cutting looks perfect. That black line looks straight as a string to me.
Great card, Viv. The stamping looks beautiful against the green background. xx,
Beautiful paper pieced lotus flower for your artsy CAS card design, Viv. I think your colored cardstock looks great with your open CAS design. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Great bit of paper piecing and good to see the CAS 'White space' in a different colour for a change. Enjoy your weekend.
I like the colored c/s and the paper you chose for the flower is lovely. Great challenge this month.
Gorgeous image that you've used for your paper pieced card Viv! LOVE the colour of your card base that is perfect to go with the pretty paper you used to piece your lotus flower. So artsy and beautiful! LOVE IT! xx
There is an air of elegance to this card. Very well done. The colored background is perfect.
Hugs and Blessings,

gorgeous Viv, love the stamped design. I also never use coloured card stock but this look awesome- wonderful inspiration ♥
ohh I love how you have used this stamp, such a pretty idea. I must try and get mine out of the packet. I do love paper piecing or is it piercing but anyway pattern paper in the stamped image. Adds something to the card I feel.
Such a beautiful card Viv and the colour combination that you picked is gorgeous.

I love the blue card base paired with that gorgeous paper!
Beautiful colors on that lotus, and while white may pack a punch, your teal does wonders with your lotus!
This looks fab Viv. Great job with the paper piecing, the colours in your paper are a perfect combination for your coloured background .... love it! Hope you're having a lovely Easter xx
How absolutely beautiful this stamp is, and the perfect paper for the lotus flower! Love the aqua cardstock, as well.
