Everything Is Going To Be Okay

Much like most of you, I have more crafting supplies than I will probably ever use.  But it sure is fun trying!  I have so many fabulous Verve Stamps, and I've never once had any trouble getting a crisp, clean perfectly stamped image on my first attempt when using them.  That says a lot, because there are some stamps out there that aren't as easy to use and that don't give you that perfectly clear image every time.  With all honesty, I can say that "I've never met a Verve Stamp I didn't absolutely LOVE".

For this card, I used more of my Crate Paper Oh Darling patterned papers.  I'm SO in love with them.  The pink polka dot patterned paper is Carta Bella's Baby Mine.  I machine stitched the papers, added some seam binding, a Prima leave and flower, a couple of lovely stick pins, half a doily, and then I stamped the Verve image onto a Martha Stewart smaller doily.  I added several sequins in Marshmallow, Mambo Melon, and Leafy Green (all from V's Sweet Ideas).  I really liked how soft and sweet this card turned out.

 

I'm sharing it in the following challenges, and I invite you to play along as well:
