Flying High

Since October of last year I have been getting stamps from The {Stamps}of Life through their monthly club.  The stamps are clear stamps and all the sets are super cute.  The brains and creativity behind The {Stamps} of Life is Stephanie Barnard who is an absolute sweetie pie!  The set for June called Kites2Fly is super duper cute and I couldn't wait to make something with it!  When I saw the current sketch from Clean & Simple, FTL95 I knew immediately that I was going to use Kites2Fly for the sketch.  I stamped the kite on white cardstock and then again on patterned paper from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop 8x8 pad and did some paper piecing.  I hand drew the kite string, pierced the cardstock and then hand stitched the kite string with DMC floss.  I finished off the kite string by sewing on 3 tiny buttons.   I assembled the card and then used some more of the DMC floss to tie around the card.  I love how it turned out!

Thanks for taking a peek, I so appreciate those of you who take the time to leave me a comment!
