Paper Pieced Springtime Card

I find paper piecing quite difficult due to my not so good eyesight.  However, I don't like to be beaten by challenges (okay I'm stubborn!!) so I just had to give it my best shot!

The card is for the following challenges:
The Sweet Stop - Sketch + Springtime

Sassy Studio Designs - Dare to Be Sassy Thursday

I have used some papers for the background from my stash which are probably long overdue to be used!  I have added some grosgrain ribbons across the join between these papers.

The image is from Sassy Studio Designs.  It is one that came with a challenge last year and may well be a retired image now.  The paper that I have used for the paper piecing is one from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The remainder of the colouring is by copic markers.
