I had some time yesterday while Norah was sleeping to creep around some very creative, inspiring blogs. I am constantly amazed by the work produced. But, yesterday, I came across this card and fell in LOVE! It was made by Amber using a card stitching pattern she found at stitchingcards.com . It turns out they have some free patterns to download and try out. They come with complete instructions and some general directions for beginners (ME!). I had to give it a hook- they are soooo pretty!
So, to make a long story short, here is my version of the butterfly and my submission for the Raspberry Suite Challenge.
I used some American Crafts card stock, the sentiment is from a Studio G clear stamp set (the little ones-so cute!) and the rest is stuff I had in my stash.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Dawn's spotlight, Chrissy! You totally deserve it - your card still amazes me. I'll let you know when I give the stitching patterns a try (haven't had much time in the craftroom lately).
ReplyDeleteIn response to your question, my family (and friend from the post) are in Newfoundland - I've been away for 5 years now and miss it so much. I see you're in Cape Breton - I've spent quite a bit of time around North Sydney and area with friends (I went to undergrad in Truro (NSAC)). Cape Breton is beautiful. It's so nice to chat with a fellow Atlantic Canadian! I'll be back to visit your post (hopefully with a few projects inspired by yours!).
Congrats again - so well deserved!!!!
