Happy Friday!! I'm still super busy...but I just had to sneak in some time to stamp a card for Beate's Weekend Sketch!
Whenever I am crunched for time, I always seem to reach for some patterned paper! That's exactly what I did here. I did want to soften the center a bit, so I added a vellum circle (I just love vellum!!). All the orange flowers have Stickles on them.
You should definitely check out what Beate, Charmaine, Jenn, Mary Jo, Lori, & Sharon have made...they are always so amazing!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! ~Laurie

I always love your cards, but this one is particularly like this one! People don't seem to use much vellum these days, so it's fun to see it on your card, especially with the stitching. The Chatterbox dp (love that company!) goes perfectly with the stamps.
