Hello Stampers!  We are having our second snow day this week today!  I am grateful for the time off, because I haven't been feeling well.  So I slept most of the day, and then decided I was going to make a card!  I checked out the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, and decided to play along! 

For the background I chose to stitch the lines using my sewing machine!  I'm not what you would call a sewer, but I thought I'd give it a try.  First I had to change out the thread from black to white.  I'm not gonna lie, I had to get out the manual to figure out how to do this! LOL!  So I got it figured out and sewed my lines.  Then I had three different choices for the flourish.  I decided on the Cherry Lynn Flourish because you could see more of the stitched lines.  So I had my panel ready and I matted it with white, and thought it needed a little somethin' somethin'.  I thought a stitched edge would coordinate with the white stitching.  So I dug through and found my Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies, and that was the ticket!  Then I used my Waffle Flower Additional A2 Layers dies to mat the panel in white.  I was going to leave it as it was, but then I decided I wanted to add a sentiment.  I heat embossed my sentiment, die cut it, and then adhered it to my card.  For the inside I left it plain with just a flourish die cut so a message could be written inside. 

That's all for now!  Thank you for stopping by!!
