I masked off the stencil and first sponged it with cracked pistachio, then turned it 90 degrees to change each little square from a striped one to a gingham one and sponged on peacock feathers. The Blanket-stitched blooms are one of the first multi-stamped flowers I ever got, and they're fun to make! I still have oodles of pearls, and still love their effect, so some gold ones went into their centers. And the little die-cut and sentiment set made a nice finish - the playful font just seems to compliment the homespun feel of the design.
Aren't these colors pretty together? Make sure to visit to see the DT's ideas for them, plus some gorgeous cards in the gallery!
