Stampin Up Vivid Vases-Paper Piecing Technique

Hi Stampers,
Are you thinking Spring yet?  I am, at least in my making of cards. This card is my entry card for the Dawn Olchefske DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge.  It is the Color My World DSC#075 Challenge for this week.   The color chart for entry is posted below my card.  Those are the colors that I had to work with and create a card to enter .I really LOVE the way this card came out!  There are quite a few different takes out there on the Vivid Vases Cards out there right now because of the stamp being in the Occasions Catalog.  It's funny, when I saw this Stamp Set I really didn't have any desire to buy it. But as time went on and I thought about it more and more, and ideas started brewing in my head as to what I could do with it.  Then.... I knew I had to have it.  Great stamp for Easter, Spring, Mothers Day or just a plain Hello or a Friendship Card too. Heck, you could even use this stamp for a "Girlfriend Birthday Card too.  Endless... I hope you like the card and it gives you Spring Fever.  I have made a YouTube Video for you below to explain how I made the card.  If you have time, leave me a comment...I would love to hear what you think.
