How is it going out there? I hope well. In case you have not heard, I am one of the 20 finalists for Paper Crafts Gallery Idol contest! How exciting is that?! I submitted this card as an entry, but this card was selected instead. Love the Indian theme! All of the finalists are fantastic! I have to admit that although I am extremely excited for the next round, I'm also really nervous. So nervous, you would think I was on the real American Idol! These ladies are talented so this is going to be a big challenge.
For this card, I was inspired by a scrapbook page by Anabelle O'Malley here. She used wrapped wire to create her branch. I stitched the entire branch, which I still can't believe. I will admit, it took me quite a bit of time. But, it's something to do if you aren't feeling too crafty sometimes. I think it took me at least 30 minutes to stitch, if not more, but I wasn't timing myself so I really don't know.
Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy your day!
