This card was made for today's Flutter By Wednesday challenge #57 (to use a buttrfly or fairy with a sentiment or quote) and last week's sketch challenge SC227. It has already been sent to a friend for her Birthday. I used my favorite Dp from Su, Parisian Breeze and the Heartfelt Thanks stampset. The flower was stamped in the backround twice with in baja breeze. A third flower was stamped on a separate piece of cardstock and adhered with dimensionals to make the image 3D. For some added elegance, I sewed around the border in brown using the scallop stitch.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Heartfelt Thanks
Paper: Bitter Chocolate and Baja Breeze CS, Parisian Breeze
Accessories: EK Success Punch, Blue Moon Butterfly Charm, Nestabilities (oval), rhinestone flourish, Offray Brown Grossgrain Ribbon

This is simply gorgeous. The stitched border is fantastic. Looks like I've just spied another border punch I *need*. That looks really cool too! What a work of art. TFS!
