I wanted to write out how I did the Paper Piecing for the vase:
Take the DP you want to use- and apply a section of Sticky Tape to it.
Stamp your image on the Sticky Tape
Next, cut out the portion of the image you want to paper piece.
Peel off the top white layer and you will have the DP cut out with sticky on the top.
Add the Microbeads and rub them in- I use a fingertip to burnish them to make sure they are well adhered.
Viola- you are done!
Here are the Sweet Stamps items I used to create the card:
