Clean and Simple with Donna Downey Stamps

Good morning! One of my recent orders and winnings from Unity Stamp Company included a couple of beautiful Donna Downey stamp sets - I decided to put them to goo use and make a card with them!


I also used the new Runway Inspired Challenge for inspiration:


And broke out my sewing machine again to add some machine stitching for Virginia's View Challenge #3 Stitching:


Also still loving the Hip on Handwriting Challenge in the Moxie Fab World - I'm so glad there are stamps like this that I can use for that look, since I'm not in love with my handwriting!!!


I used the Donna Peony Stamp set for the flowers, stamped the solid one with Memento Luxe ink, then stamped the outline with MFT Kraft ink. I know it doesn't match up - but I did that on purpose to help achieve a more "artsy" look. I added the sentiment from the "Inspire" Words set using black Versafine ink. Rounded the top corner, added some random machine stitching to the bottom, and finished off with a few enamel dots - one of my favorite embellishments!


Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a great week so far!!!
