I made this card for today's CAS Challenge, then realized it also fits the Alphabet Challenge for the letter T (for thinking of you). Julie is the hostess for the CAS challenge and she has a terrific challenge called, 3 parts for 3 distinct areas on a card.
I started off by running the stitched die at an angle on opposite corners of the top layer. Then placed this layer in my MISTI tool, and stamped the flowers and leaves over the stitched images using various colors of inks. Stamped the sentiment panel and die cut. Die cut some yellow flowers and leaves and layered them behind the sentiment panel.
This card was a lot of fun to make. Thank you Julie and Ann for the wonderful challenges and thanks for looking. ~Karen.

Wonderful use of that stitched die in the corners of your panel. I probably would never have thought to do this, but I am sure glad you did. This makes a wonderful design in the corners. Yes, like Susan said, it is springy looking and full of hope. Gotta love that!
