This is a card that I made for a recent swap. The swap required two pink cards you can see the second card up above where I will be posting it shortly. I wanted to make a shabby chic style card with stitching. The stamp is a favourite of mine by 'Crafty Individuals'. I have layered up various backing papers by glueing to cardboard and then distressing the edges and hand stitiching a border. My blogging friend Sherry will be so proud of me as I managed to leave all the threads dangling!!! The butterfly is made with a punch that I snuck from Fluff (but had to give it back) so don't know who it is by. This is one of the last in my stash.
The flower is made using my Spellbinders Rose Creations die but instead of sculpting the petals I have left them flat. (When you cut with this die you get left with the centres from the petals which I keep in a lttle tin.) Here I have layered up with snippets of different backing papers and instead of using a brad for the centre have used one of the circles from the plain petals to cover up the hole. A spot of glossy accents on top and you have home made candi!

Lovely pink card Mrs A - and good girl for leaving those ends hanging - lol! I had a little mishap last week, merrily snipping away at some loose ends in an abandoned manner and merrily snipped into my finger tip - ouch! That'll teach me!!!
love all the pink! Thanks for joining us at One Crazy Stamper this month.
cheers!

The colours are great, and the stitching really sets off the card with the cotton trails. Lynn x

I thought I recognised that butterfly! It's a quickutz die and may well end up living in the pod. Fab pinky card. Apart from the dangly thread you must have enjoyed making this. The shabby effect looks great too. xx
Oh so pretty in pink! Hugs, Lesley
What a beautiful clean and simple monochromatic card! Thanks for playing with us at FBW!
This is such a pretty card. I am proud of you for leaving your thread tails...I have never managed to do that but want to try it on a scrapbook layout!
Love the gorgeous butterfly and flower.
I really like the butterfly and flower on this card. When I read card maker blogs I always feel like their in a secret club. They mention all the things they've used to create their cards and I have no idea what their talking about. But I love seeing the cards. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful card...what a great technique to leave all those dangly bits from the stitching. I will have to remember that.
