Stitched Birthday

Today's card comes courtesy of the gorgeous colors at ColourQ, the sketch at Fusion and the stitching option at Seize the Birthday.  

I love the addition of the newsprint option for ColourQ.  My newsprint is all on a vanilla base, so I painted some with Gesso to whiten it up a little.  From there, I stamped the waterdrops from Designs by Ryn onto the Gesso in Crumb Cake and then clear embossed them.

The leaves were cut and stamped using the Harvest Berries set and the sentiment is from Birthday Bash Sentiments.  This is my first card with machine stitching on it!  In the past, I've been too lazy to get my machine out, but it just happened to be out today, so I bit the bullet and gave it a go!  All the cut off bits of thread were stuck randomly behind the leaves for a bit of added interest.

Here's a look at the very simple inside.  Some more waterdrops stamped in Crumb Cake.

Thanks for looking.
