Happy Couple

Well, I sort of forced myself into my stamp space and started on this card for my BIL wedding this weekend. I pulled out The Sweet Life and got to making some pattern paper first. I love the little trio of roses for this! I layered some polka dots from Polka Dots Basics II after all the roses and leaves were stamped. Once I got going I really enjoyed creating something again :) The sentiment is from Beautiful Butterflies and if you take a look there is some real stitching on my card! I was able to get a new sewing machine last week and have been fun figuring it out. It has quite a few decorative stitches that I love and I want to try my hand at some simple fabric projects too. Thanks for coming by and I'd love to hear what you think of the card:)

Oh Leah, sorry I have been absent lately. Everything is just so gorgeous! I don't have time to comment on everything, but wanted to leave a note to say I stopped by and really enjoyed the visit! So pretty! Love them all!!!

This is so wonderfully pretty! I love the doily in the rose mix and your background is gorgeous! I'm so glad you got back into crafting - it can be such a great outlet!
