I recycled a birthday card I received a few months ago....the beautiful popped up basket of flowers was removed along with a piece of the background paper to create the fishtail banner. Sewing was done around the sides of the background paper, across the top of the banner, and a Savvy script die was used for the sentiment. It was cut out of Eggplant Envy cardstock (retired SU) and the enamel dots finish it off. TFL and I hope you can join us for this week's TLC challenge!!!

What a fun challenge! Since I am home alone this week getting to spend as much time as I'd like in my stamproom for the most part, I got busy on mine right away. Love these pretty purples on this card and love the new layout you gave this card.

very pretty Joan... love the little basket of beautiful flowers and what you have done with the image... the colour combo of your card is perfect as well as your stitching....

Awesome use of a recycled card! The diecut sentiment looks perfect paired with the basket image - love the color you chose and the way you angled it. The background panel with the zigzag stitching is a nice design feature, too. TFS this fun card!
