Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #78, Stamping and Hand Stitching

I must preface this post and say that I felt guilty after posting my previous card on the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday link up, because I felt like hand stitching the felt and buttons on the card were not enough. Here goes card number two for the MIM, stamping and hand stitching:) 

I am also entering this card in Moxie Fab World Minty Fresh Challenge.

Here is my Mega Gracious Vases Die Cut from Papertrey Ink. I was inspired by those really cool modern vases that have beading on them. Just backstitched with crochet thread.

Used my Tim Holtz ruler to space the stitching here. In hind sight, every other space would be great! :)

OK, I feel better now! Much more hand stitching on this card. Love this Papertrey Ink card stock, it is so thick and the colors are beautiful!

Moxie Fab World Challenge, and CAS-ual Friday Card

Here is my entry in the Moxie-Fab World Mint Green Challenge, and also for the CAS-ual Friday square card challenge. I put the white card stock in position on the Papertrey Ink Aqua Mist card stock and ran them through my Big Shot together. This way the embossed pattern continues onto the top layer and it looks like I trimmed down the white card stock. They are separated by 3D Foam squares. TFL!

This is my inspiration for the Moxie Fab Minty Fresh Challenge. Love the texture and rounded corners!
