Inspired Stitched Florals card

Hello!

For the card I have to share today, I was inspired by this gorgeous cardigan from Anthropologie:



Isn't it pretty?  I love the fun look and feel of it!  On my card, I tried to replicate the flower outlines with stamping and stitching...


I also used Stamping 411's sketch this week.  I think it fit perfectly with what I wanted to do with the card!

Well, I have to run.  Thanks for stopping by!

  8. I'm running out of adjectives, Melissa. How many times can I use beautiful or gorgeous when describing your work? Pretty just doesn't cut it so I'll stick to my usuals. Beautiful! Gorgeous!
