Hi! This card fits today's Free 4 All Challenge: Twine.
I love to combine twine with ribbon for a country/shabby look. Most of the time I use it for masculine cards, but for this card, I think the twine fits, don't you?
This stamp set is called Planted With Love. It was inspired by the jumpers I used to wear when teaching. I had 32 of them! All embroidered with happy “country” looking images. Mother and I designed the patterns for the jumpers and then went to work sewing them. We made all 32 in 10 days. Each design was different, and very detailed. That woman could really draw, sew, and design. I drew the packets from memory and added in the Speedy the Cat Brand for fun. Heck, who reads those, anyway, right?
The image was stamped in Palette Noir and colored with Copics: RV29, E01, E97, YR15, YG95, B02, YR12, R12, YG63, YG99, Y35. I added in some sheer ribbon, Half Metallic Pearls, twine, and Leaf Pin.
Finished card size: 5 1/2" Square
Total Time to complete: 47 minutes.

I think the twine fits! I never thought of it as manly? I like how you added in the Speedy the Cat Brand for fun on the seed packets. I think that it is fun. I like there. I like this set, been trying to clear my calander so I can play w/ it. And all my charms, I placed a big order w/ MFP. You said "Heck, who reads those, anyway, right?" I do lol. I like the Speedy the Cat brand stuff, it's fun & cute. Your card is just beautiful! (As always) You did a great job w/ the Copics!
