Happy Friday!! We are still trying to catch up from being gone. It's amazing to me how much there actually is to "catch up on" when we were only gone a few days! I did, however find a little time to stamp last night! Yay!
I made this for Beate's Weekend Sketch #25. To see the original sketch, check out her site "Fresh & Fun". The only thing I changed, was to make the front panel an oval instead of a rectangle.
I wanted to use colors that would work for the Fall, but I also wanted it "dressy" enough to use as a Thanksgiving card. I embossed the swirls using Chocolate Chip craft ink and Clear e.p. The flowers and sentiment are embossed with Copper e.p. Aside from the hand stitching (I stitched along the left side using a bronzish/brown metallic embroidery thread) this card is fast enough to mass produce if needed!
To see some more gorgeous samples using this sketch, make sure to check out what Beate, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon have come up with! I will be back tomorrow with something for tomorrow's "Sweet & Simple Saturday" feature! Enjoy your day! ~Laurie
