I know this card is off balanced, but I couldn't figure out what to add where or how to redo the layout. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
As it is, I wanted to have fun with my new parisian breeze paper pack, so I stamped the FAF flowers and cut out. I stamped the sentiment on the label 1 nestie. Stitched around the edges (I think I should have stitched closer to the edges, though) and added the brown ribbon. The flowers are popdotted.
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, PTI Out on a Limb Sentiments
Paper: SU Parisian Breeze, Baja Breeze, unknown kraft
Ink: Memento brown
Other: sewing machine, label 1 nesties, American Craft ribbon, popdots

I LOVE your card and don't think it is off balanced at all. It is different from the usual ones we see and that is what drew me to it in the first place. As I am addicted to SU Dazzling Diamonds I think I would like to see the centers of the flowers with just a very light touch of DD. Love the sewing around the card and the DSP you used. Beautiful!!!

I like it just the way it is. I love the stitched square and then everything placed on top. I love the ribbon and the sentiment on a separate piece. Love the paper pieced flowers. I just love that set. Lovely.

What a beautiful card!! I love your flowers (I never think to stamp on DP), the colors, the DPs... everything! Also, that is one of my very favorite verses!
