Absolutely Fabulous.

This month's blog hop called for working with text - be it Papertrey's text patterned papers or some of those stamps that are made to show a text pattern. I really wanted to work with this color combo: Pure Poppy and Raspberry Fizz plus the new lush Enchanted Evening. So I chose this text page from the Raspberry Fizz Mix paper pack and then I paired that with a piece of Pure Poppy from the new In Bloom paper pack. I did some wonky stitching around the In Bloom piece and then some on my Enchanting Evening ribbon. My flower is a Hibiscus (ghost) from Heidi Swapp accented with some Glossy Accents and some Angel Dust Art Glitter topped with a vintage button from Papertrey in Raspberry Fizz.

Thanks for stopping by - - enjoy the Hop!

Your "wonky" stitching totally makes the whole card, imo! I would probably never have paired these colors up on my own, so I love to see that it turned out nicely. I need to think outside my color box more!
