Hello Friends! Late post today. The day just got away with me. Now the kids are in bed so I am going to give this a try. Hopefully I won't fall asleep in front of the computer.
I really wanted to make something with my Papertrey Ink goodies, so I checked out today's MIM challenge, #60-Generational Stamping. I wasn't too excited to do that (even though it's super easy), and almost gave up... but decided to finish it.
See the stitching? I have been long admiring Kathy Martin's creations with fabulous stitching. Recently she let her "secret" out, and I just had to give it a try! See her hand stitching tutorial HERE. Back to my card...
Recipe: Life, Tea for Two, Background Basics: Retro(PTI)... Mat Stack 3 die(PTI)... Bashful Blue, Blushing Bride, and Peach Parfait ink, Bashful Blue Stampin' Write Marker, and Indigo Blue re-inker (SU!)... Bashful Blue card stock (SU!)... Spritz tool (SU!)...Seam binding ribbon, Prima flower, Baker's Twine, Pearls... Paper-piercing tools...
Inspirations came from CASE Study #84. The colors are from Cupcake Creations Color Challenge, CR84FN51:
Thanks for visiting!

This is just gorgeous! A great aperture with that peachy frill, and fab stamping too! Topped off with that lovely peachy rose, perfect!
Thanks for joining us at CR84FN this week!
