And now back to our regularly scheduled programming! :)
The card I'm sharing with you today is my take on this week's color challenge over at The Play Date Cafe -- which was a real bugger, btw! :) If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that I heart my patterned papers and rarely do a project without them. Well, the good folks over at TPDC must have had other things in mind when they chose this color scheme, 'cuz I had nuthin'! I was gonna have to do a lot of stamping and coloring! I also had in mind to use one of this month's sketches over at the Hero Arts blog as inspiration for this card -- Circles!
So here's what I came up with:
Was hoping you'd be able to tell more about the different levels on this detail shot...
I'm pretty pleased with it, especially since (promise you won't tell anyone -- this is just between us...) this was my first time ever stitching on a card! Ha! :)
Anyway, thanks for stopping by! I would be super-honored if you would consider following this blog -- again, the giveaway is still open for another couple of days!!! :) Hope your week is starting off famously!

Oh la la! Love the circles & dimension! I have the hardest time with color challenges-I think it's because I can't touch (not weird touch, *nervous laugh*) the colors. And kudos for stitching! I don't even attempt machine stitching, just hand stitching.
