I haven't had any chance to stamp in over a week so it felt so nice to sit down and play with some pretty stamps and paper.
I loved Deanna's card over at
Muse this week and wanted to play along. I took my inspiration from the flowers clustered up towards the top of her card. Here is her card.
And here is mine.
So I mimicked the flowers in the paper with some stamps but now I'm wondering if it's too much, maybe a bit of overkill? I also did something I've never done before -- I switched out my white thread in my sewing machine for the black. I wanted it to pop a bit more.

I hope you all have a great Saturday. We're off to Reynna's basketball tournament today. Here's hoping for a big win!

I think the card is beautiful as is, Alanna. What pretty roses. How brave to switch out the thread color. I applaud you for stitching on your cards period, never mind changing colors! *Ü* Oooooh, good luck Reynna!!

Beautiful, Alanna! So luscious! Definitely not too much (and I'm a CAS girl), and the black thread is perfect. :-)

This is so very pretty. I like all the flowers, and the black thread adds interest.
This is soooo pretty, Alanna! I love that you matched the flowers to the paper. It's perfect. The black thread switch out was a brilliant idea. LOVE it!
