I made this card for a niece and nephew of ours, to give to their Grandma. I hope she likes it!
* Edit, on 5/5/11...I also submitted this card to "Mama Love" over at Kind Over Matter.
I'm playing along in 2 challenges.
The Shabby Tea Room week #59 - Butterfly Wishes
The Paper Players #45 - LeAnne's Theme Challenge
Here is my interpretation of the two challenges:
Also....and this is new to me...I stitched on this card! I know. It's about time, isn't it? I love the look of stitching on cards, but I don't enjoy sewing, so I was reluctant. You know what? It was fun! You'll be seeing a lot more of this on my cards :)
Thanks so much for stopping in. I hope you'll leave a comment...I love reading them!

This is gorgeous! Actually, when I came up with this challenge, this is the paper I was thinking of.....but by the time the challenge rolled around, I wanted to do something else. However, this is still some of my favorite paper! You did the challenge right by this gorgeous card---what a nice aunt your are!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Now you are making me regret not getting some of that paper. I love all the elements, especially the sewing.

Beautiful -- I've just started sewing on paper too! Kind of like sewing on leather, but less forgiving. :P Neat effects though -- and you did a _good_ job of it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Susie! I just love how you featured that pretty DSP and the sparkly accents are a wonderful touch. The stitching is gorgeous, too. Thanks for joining The Paper Players this week. :)
