I woke up all excited this morning, every Friday Viva La Verve post a new sketch, I've done all the other sketches for this month so I couldn't wait for this one. As soon as I saw it all I could think was wow! It's very pretty so I couldn't wait to get started. I have decided to team the sketch with a colour combo challenge over at Color Throwdown which I love, I don't think I've ever used Perfect Plum before and I really can't think why?!
See what I mean? Beautiful! I don't normally do stitched cards, but when you're working with a sketch this pretty you have to go the extra mile, so out came a needle and thread, and a paper piercer, and here are the results
I'm also entering this card for the Just Add Ink challenge which was to use something 'from your stash' I have used a stamp from a Sale-a-bration set that I haven't inked since February called Punch Bunch, and also I found at the back of my drawer a pot of shimmer paint that I bought but I thought I'd lost because I've never used it! Here's a close up of the shimmer on the tag
I have had so much fun making this one, hope you like it too, xx

Beautiful card, Kelly! I love adding tags to the front of my cards too!
Kelly I love the way you've combined each of the challenges. That stitching of yours is divine. Such a lovely card!

Lovely card--I think it's cute that the colors match your blog! :)
Kelly, this is beautiful. Lovely colour combo and that stitching is fab. I like the shimmer on the tag too. I also have that set from SAB, which I haven't even mounted yet!
