I had a lot of fun making this card, but it was definitely a challenge! I started it on Tuesday evening, but just couldn't 'get it'. It wasn't until today when I saw Betsy's post for the PTI DT Challenge that I finally figured out what I wanted to do! I loved her idea of inking the Impression Plate before sending it through the Cuttlebug - definitely a technique I will use frequently!! So here is my card...
My other favorite thing these days is blanket stitching! On Tuesday night (after I gave up on my card for the night), I took a chunk of black felt and free hand cut a bunch of flowers out of it and stitched around the edges while I watched TV. 
Thanks for checking it out!
