FMS#36 and MMM50

Hi everyone and Happy Friday!! I am finally back from vacation and making cards again! We had such a wonderful trip and were thrilled to see our son graduate from Army Basic Training. He is still at Ft. Benning for three months, then hopefully a leave!!!!!

Splitcoaststampers Wednesday Tutorial is shaped cards, so I decided to combine that with Freshly Made Sketches sketch this week. The Splitcoaststampers tutorial can be seen here.

Make My Monday is looking for wildflowers and grasses this week, so I pulled out my Rubber Stamp Tapestry peg stamps and got busy.  I used RST’s Believe/Dream/Peace Designer Block Prints leaf stamp to make the 3 squares.  I then used their Little Posy Basket peg set and Miss You block stamp for the focal panel.

The DSP is from Prima’s Botanical collection 6 x 6 paper stack and the card stock is from Recollections.  I used my sewing machine to stitch the panels together.

A Michaels flower, ZVA flourish, some stitching and seam binding finish this little card up. 

THIS CARD QUALIFIES FOR THESE CHALLENGES:
