Since I had a few extra stamped/cut flowers and all the extra paper still out on my craft table, I decided to make more cards. I spend most of my crafting time making cards that I 'have to' make - the calendar dictates who gets a card - so I don't often get the chance just to 'play'. With the supplies all out and all the color choices made, all I needed was a sketch to get me started. Once again, Splitcoaststampers came through with SC845!
For this card, I added some leaves that I stamped and fussy-cut. The sentiment is from MFT's You're The Sweetest and the stitches were added to the sentiment strip by using my stitched rectangle dies and carefully cutting one edge at a time using a longer but much wider rectangle die. Love the added touch the stitch marks bring!
I found two more coordinating patterned papers, so this card will be entered into the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp. Since it is also a birthday card, it will be entered into the Game #23 - Patterned Paper Birthday Challenge at AAA Birthday. Thanks for looking!
