Quietly Stitched

Did I ever have fun stamping the week away last week during the Dare to Get Dirty challenges.  I'm so excited to say that I completed every one of the challenges!  I was usually able to combine at least a few here and there so that I didn't have to create a unique card for every single challenge.

Some of them made me stop and think, some of them came together quickly, and others, well, others well, lets say were a challenge indeed!  But that's the fun right? 

Isn't it funny though, how sometimes the cards that you're least sure of are the ones that people comment on the most?  I wasn't even sure I liked this, was it too clean? Did the pearls cover too much of the flowers?  Was it boring? I wasn't sure. But after all that sewing, I was going to post it and move on.  

This is now the second most commented card in my gallery. Go figure! Thanks everyone!! 

This is Framed Flowers by Carolyn King for Gina K Designs.  I have the lovely Barbara Schramm to thank for the half pearls, they were sent to me as part of a recent Secret Swapper (thanks girlfriend!) 

Hope you all have a great day!  There is still time to complete the challenges on Splitcoast if you're interested. The challenges will be "open" for submissions till August 1st!
