Blue Skies Verve Card Set

I had a such blast putting together cards for the Anni-Verve-sary sketch challenge that I decided to make a second batch.  Only this time I wanted to go way out on a limb with the sketches.  So I went back to my favorite way of making cards and created little paper pieced images.  I tried to use basic shapes for everything.
Here are my cards and the sketchs.

Sketch A-Smiles

Sketch B-You make me smile

Sketch C-Welcome Back

Spellbinders Circle and Flower Dies

DP-Fly a Kite-October Afternoon

Sketch D-You make me smile

Martha Stewart Icicle border punch to make the grass.

Circle punches for the belly, eyes and flowers

Sketch E-Blue skies

Spellbinders circle and heart dies

Free hand the clouds

May Arts Hemp string

Here's a little sketch of how I made the Owl. 
I basically start with a rectangle.
Then clip on a diagnal off the sides. Use the access to make the Owl ears.
Use a corner rounder on the edges.
2 small circles and 1 larger for the eyes and belly.

I've been asked if I cover the stitching on the inside of my cards.  You can see pretty much all the stitching of my cards.  I don't cover them up, I think it's part of the charm of a homemade stitched card.  All the thread ends are tied in a knot so they don't "let go" later.
