New Beginnings


Hi everyone!! A few nights ago I was blog hopping and saw a lot of number of cards using this color combination, I thought it was gorgeous!! So I finally clicked on one of the links to Embellish Magazine, the challenge is to use Kraft, Brown and Purple along with stripes! This morning I came across this layout on Susan's blog and knew I had to combine the two!! Isn't it a great layout?! For my stripes I used my paper piercer and then hand stitched using DMC floss and blending filament. The blending filament has sparkle which I don't think you can see on the photo. I wanted to use that to roll with the glitter I used for the nest!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
