{DT} - Dandelions

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)

Today, the rubber DT from Crafts and Me Challenges has set up a new challenge for you - the theme for this week is: STITCHING
No matter if you want to do real stitching/sewing or just faux..  every type of 'stitching' is ok :)


Here's my card and I did some faux stitching around the card. I hope you can see it in the picture:

I used the new 'Melody Wishes You...' stamp by Lemon Shortbread and again cut her out, trimming closely and put her on foam pads. The background was created using the 'Make A Wish' bundle from Ju Kneipp Designs. I thought the papers and elements with all it's Dandelions was the perfect match for the stamp image and I loved the soft colors in this kit, too :)

Here's a close up of the layered paper flower I made using circles in different sizes I cut out from the patterned papers and distressed them a bit:

Oh.. and if you have a minute and don't mind, please read this post and give me a little support by sharing your thoughts with me via the comment section or just participating in my poll (it's anonymous - I cannot see who voted for which option)  - thanks so much for your help! :)
