...Viva La Stitching

This card is for last Friday's Viva La Verve Challenge at the Verve Forum AND Wednesday's Cuttlebug Be Inspired Challenge #71. I used this gorgeous purple dining room as inspiration for my color combo, and used the sketch provided for the layout...but I flipped it, of course! I added stitching to both the horizontal and circular panels, which was the challenge from the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog. The card base was embossed using the Cuttlebug Textile Texture Embossing Folder, and the the striped panel was embossed with the Diamonds In The Rough Embossing Folder.

The focal panel was stamped with the flourish from Verve's "Celebration of Thanks" set in Pale Plum Ink, and one of the sentiments from the "Forever In Our Hearts" in Bravo Burgundy Ink. I added pearls to the corners to the panel, tied some Dark Purple Ribbon around the card front, and pierced under the sentiment using a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer. The pearls were actually white, but I colored them with my V15 Copic Marker to perfectly match my card base...LOVE that trick!

That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by to see me, and I will see you back here tomorrow with a BLOG CANDY SURPRISE!!! Until then...
