It has been a LONG time since I have done one of Sharon's ~ Stamp Simply Friday challenges! Today, I did it! The challenge was to sew on your card. That's easy enough!! I got a Janome Sew Mini for my birthday last month and this is just the second time I have used it. I found that I did much better this time! 
The base of my card is Whisper White. The decorative paper is from Melissa Frances' Ambiente Collection. I used my scalloped scissors on the top green & blue piece and then just left the blue striped as is on the bottom. I added a small strip of the striped blue DP, which I cut a scalloped edge on the top, just above the scalloped edge green & blue piece. I then added Celery and Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon. I then sewed around the entire card. I punched a scalloped oval, using my Giga scallop punch, from Whisper White cardstock. The image is from Memory Box's ~ Vintage Garden Set. I stamped the stem and "grass" using Celery ink. The flowers were stamped using Bashful Blue ink in which I inked up the stamp and then stamped off on a scrap piece of paper. After I stamped off, I used my Brocade Blue marker and inked the edges of the flower, huffed on the stamp and then stamped. I added some bling, for a change, from Prima. I also added a Clear Prima Dragonfly. I then used my Creative Memories oval cutter to mat the scalloped oval with a piece of Bashful Blue cardstock. I sponged the edges of the blue with White Craft ink to tone the color down a little. Don't forget that Sunday is the last day for Mothers and Daughters Creations sale so stop on by!!!
I hope you all have a great weekend!
