Embellish Stitching Color Challenge

Happy Friday!
Boy am I glad that the weekend is here. Last night I went to a rockin’ concert and of course didn’t get home til late. I woke up this morning and my body wasn’t feeling the greatest. Don’t feel sick, just really sore and stuffed up from my allergies. :( The other day I did the stair step machine at the gym…wanna guess how many floors I stepped? 200! Wish I could have gotten a pic of that huge number!
Since I didn’t have any plans today, I thought I’d try my hand at the Embellish challenge. Oh goodness, this one was right up my alley! Do you recognize the colors? Yup, I used them in my March Papertrey Blog Hop post! Guess Ashley and I were on the same wave link. The challenge wasn’t completely a walk in the park though. It also called for stitching- faux or real. I was just going to use some stitched stamps but thought that would be too easy. ;) I was then going to try sewing on a card but figured it would take too long to learn. I ended up using my paper piercer and threaded some twine onto the card.
Did you notice anything else familiar about this card? I used the sketch I designed over at the DeNami Design blog! Really, really happy with the way this card turned out! Don’t you love it when that happens? You may think that all of my cards turn out nicely, but believe me, that is far from the case. I regularly let my family members have my “rejects”….I’m embarrassed at how many end up in that pile.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a fab weekend!

  1. Very cute! This one could very easily be a baby card too, I’m thinking. The stitching and little birds are just, you know, SWEET. Nice card!
