Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #12

Hello! I am buried in paperwork today, but thought I would take a break to post my card for Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #12. Here is the inspiration photo:
This reminds me that I need to take "after" pictures of our backyard waterfall and landscaping project. Maybe I'll do that next...after I finish working! *wink*



I used some new Papertrey Ink stamps on this card, including Polka Dot Basics II and Everyday Button Bits (sentiment, which I curved to fit around the flourish...gotta love clear stamps!). The bird is from Bird Watching Additions. I also ran the blade of my scissors along the edge of the Spring Moss layer to rough it up a little.
Thanks for stopping by!
Melanie

Supplies (all Papertrey Ink, unless indicated otherwise)
Cardstock: Spring Moss, Scarlet Jewel, Raspberry Fizz, Cream
Stamps: Bird Watching Additions, Fancy Flourishes, Polka Dot Basics II, Everyday Button Bits (sentiment)
Ink: Scarlet Jewel
Other: Scarlet Jewel buttons, Cuttlebug embossing folder, sewing machine, Fiskars threading water border punch, pink gems-unknown

    Oh my gosh! I love the stiching and fun bling accents. I have the flourishes and the polka dots 2 on my list. Great job on the color combo.

    It's a good life!
