Canada Beaver was paperpieced using BasicGrey’s Offbeat designer paper.  Image was stamped several times and the pieces were layered.  Two extra mapleleafs were stamped out and used on the card front (can you spot them?).  The striped paper was machine sewn onto the background. Sentiment is Odd Bird Planet.

We are very excited about the prize!  Each week a different Spellbinder Nestability will be given away.  This week’s prize is the large oval set.
