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.

This is one of my favorite MFP stamp sets, and I just adore those sweet little faces! I love the addition of Speedy on the seed packet - he belongs there!! CUTE!
