I am continuing to add to my Birthday card stash. While I was cleaning out and purging my scraproom a few weeks ago I came across some InStitchez templates by Bazzill. I remember buying them years ago and I had every intention of actually using them, but I never got around to it. I thought about getting rid of them, after all if I had not used them in so long I clearly didn't know what I was missing, but I decided to make myself use them at least once. You see my very first flower on this card. It's actually very easy, but unfortunately time consuming. I also used another one of the darling images my dear friend Kymberlee from The Paper Midwife sent me. I love every single one!
Recipe:
Paper - Amy Tan's Sketchbook 6 x 6, Recollections cardboard 5 x 5 cards
Bazzill In Stitchez template and embroidery floss
Brad & Ribbon are from my stash
Stamps: Paper Smooches
Spellbinders: Nested Pennants
Silhouette: scanned image and created outline shadow and mat for the little girl
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

ReplyDeleteHad to giggle everytime I see that digi image! Nicely colored by Kymberlee, btw! I love how you highlighted the image with coordinating mats - didn't think the image could be any cuter ;). The stitched flower is very cute too. TFS!
