This card uses the zig zag stitches from Sew Nice along with a sentiment from Wishes and Kind Thoughts. I stamped the stitches three times to create a chevron border. My sneaks from Thoughts and Smiles are the flowers and leaves. The flowers were stamped four times, watercoloured with distress inks, fussy cut, layered and adhered to the card base at different heights. The May set is filled with lovely images! It's one of my favourite sets to play with and I think you'll fall in love with it as soon as it's revealed.
If you haven't already voted for your favourite Stamping Royalty Honorable Mention, you have one more day. Voting ends tonight! Thanks so much for stopping by today. :)

So deceptively simple -- and so pretty! Love the colouring on the flowers.
Your watercolouring is awesome, Emily - distress inks are my faves for that too. Love all the dimension of the fussy-cutting :)
So pretty! I always love how stamping on kraft looks, and I love how you did the leaves, only partially coloring them. PS - voted for you yesterday. Hope you win!
Pretty card Emily! I love the flowers :)
