MFP Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge - Paper Piecing

This week's Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) is to paper piece.  That is my favorite technique next to water coloring.  For a chance to win a new not yet released stamp set from MFP just create a new card with paper piecing and link it directly to InLinkz on the MFP blog.  If you use MFP stamps you get entered twice!  There will be a prize for every 50 entries - good luck!!
I used an image from the new MFP released set Hello Sunshine!  First I stamped the image on some Basic Grey designer paper in Versafine Onyx Black.  I cut out the center circle part of the image with a Nestability.  Then I stamped the image again on blue paper and a yellowish gold paper and cut out the sun and "water" and paper pieced them onto the originally stamped circle.  I matted the circle with the lacy circle Nestability and the same blue paper that I paper pieced with. The sentiment is from the same set.
Thanks for coming by!
Supplies: Stamps - Marks Finest Papers - Hello Sunshine!; Ink - Versafine Onyx Black, Paper - Marks Finest Papers, Basic Grey; Misc - Lacy Nestability, Half backed pearls, Foam Squares
