Thank you Stef, for another great Inspiration Challenge!
As soon as I saw it, I remembered these swirly embellies I have and knew I had to use them on a card! I also tried to use the aqua blues and greens, but got a bit carried away into other colors too.
I colored using only Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol to blend. White gel pen for tiny highlights.
This card incorporates some masking, and a LOT of cutting and pasting! I used a total of eight stamps!
I hand drew the stitching with a white gel pen, as my machine is still on the fritz.
I'm giving this to my DH as an anytime card. We're still in love after 22 plus years!
All stamps High Hopes Stamps.
TFL!

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

This is adorable... your coloring is fantastic..and it looks like your machine did the stiching that's how perfect it is Never would have known your machine was on the fritz if you didn't say something...
