Here it is Wednesday again - my, time is just flyin' by!!! This is another 6x6 card I made. I actually entered this one for a DT call, but I did not get picked. Oh well...Here are the details of this one. The base of the card is Soft Sky card stock which is then layered with Afternoon Tea Designer Series paper. I used my Ticket Corner Punch on the corners, then added faux stitching - and yes, for those of you who asked, I do this by hand, it is not a stamp. I have the All in a Row stamp set which you can use for this, but I don't like it! The three strips down the one side are Sage Shadow card stock which have also been punched with my Ticket Corner Punch. I added some Vintage silver brads and stitched around them as well. On the right side of the card, I added a piece of Sage Shadow card stock which is layered with a coordinating piece of Afternoon Tea dp, punched, and faux stitched. The image itself is from the stamp set Blooming with Love and is stamped on Naturals White card stock in Black stazon, then stamped again on Afternoon Tea dp and paper pieced. The flowers are also stamped in black stazon and colored in using my Stampin' Write markers, with a few of the flowers cut out and popped up on dimensionals (or pieces thereof). I also used my Ticket Corner Punch here. The sentiment is stamped on Sage Shadow card stock in the same color ink, and punched out using my Designer Label Punch. I added a piece of Stylin' Silver Hodgepodge Hardware - how cool is it that is fits this punch PERFECTLY???!!! Lastly, I added a piece of Mellow Moss grosgrain ribbon and I was done! I love these colors, they are very me!!! I hope you all like it better than the judges did - LOL!

Just a wonderful card!! I so like this set and don't use it very often. I love what you did.
I really like this card. I didn't know that the hodgepodge hardware piece fit that punch or is it vice versa, lol. So cool. I love how that piece adds a great touch to the card.
Wow! I love this card! It would be a great Mother's Day card. The colors are just so springy!!
Take care!
