Just Because

Stitched Coaster Round UpPTI is having some fun 10th Anniversary Challenges & I finally finished my first entry which is for Lizzie's Challenge.  Stitching projects are the inspiration, but stitching isn't required.  As soon as I saw project #5, I thought of Snowflake Flurries.
I stamped  the image on Soft Stone cardstock in Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Green Parakeet, New Leaf, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Pale Peony & Berry Sorbet.  The sentiment from Friendly Flowers is stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black. The little black dots are Pico Embellisher.  This is Take 2 since a big black blob ruined my first stamped piece.  I'm proud of myself for not getting upset & not giving up--haha!  I'm also entering Retro Rubber (image from 2012--my colors may not be close enough) & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.

    The spacing of your stitchy-flakes is perfect! The black centres link them well to the sentiment and the border - nice composition. Thanks so much for joining us at Retro Rubber for our colour challenge.

    Very pretty CAS, the use of the Pico embellisher is a good way to tie the card together. One hint with them . . . try the first few dots on a scrap paper before you go to your stamped images. I find this really helps! Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber!

    That is a very creative take on the challenge! I would have never thought of translating that into a card! Fabulous!

    Wow - your placement is brilliant. I wouldn't even attempt such a complicated (for me) card, but the result is superb. Good job making the blob of paint work for you to create extra interest.
