The Floral oval is another of my cheating dies for embroidery, the holes get die cut in. The flowers and butterfly were cut from Yupo paper that I colored with alcohol inks. I was trying to make my own leopard dp.
Now if anyone can tell me how to get the ODBD stamps straight, please let me know. Only by chance can I get these stamps straight, there is no picture on the back (sticky) side. Thus the crooked sentiment.
This sentiment tells us to look at the simple things in life, ie a sunrise or sunset, birds, animals, rainbows, landscapes, etc; to see the extraordinary things. We don't have to look far for these things.
TFL!

Oh, what beautiful framing. This looks as if it would take a while to create. Love alcohol inks and your flowers/butterfly are so pretty. Wonderful sentiment, also.

FABULOUS...this is so beautiful...love your embroidery frame and those wonderful leopard flowers and butterfly...they look almost waxy! The angled creases on the opposing corners are a nice finishing touch!

Gorgeous as ever, Jennifer. Your color sense is amazing...only matched by your sense of design and superb craftsmanship. I'm always in awe of your work. You are indeed an inspiration to me!
So beautiful! I am in awe of your flowers and butterfly!! I thought they had the look of fancy decorative plastic, hard to believe they are paper!!! Gorgeous card!

I have a stamp positioner that I use all the time with wood mounted stamps. If it is foam mounted then try the Misti. But...I have trouble seeing straight with ovals even with help. I almost always do words paired with ovals crooked!
Your card is gorgeous, I love the fact that you did that thread work...OMGosh!! That and the die cuts...I thought at first they were cut from thin metal! Also love the scoring!!
