Here is my take on this week's challenge:

I loved the colors in the bedroom and the clean lines. I felt it called for a clean and simple card, which I rarely do. So, I left my edges un-inked! I truly feel like there is something missing from this card. What do you think?


Here is a side view:

I used a Verve Stamp set called Kindred Spirits. The paper is from my stash of SEI from their Granny's Kitchen Collection. Anyone remember that one? I used Crumb Cake and Soft Sky cardstock from SU. I don't own a sewing machine so that is hand-stitching you see on there. I used my Cricut Expression and Lacy Labels cartridge to cut out the circles. The scalloped oval is a Spellbinders die called Lacy Ovals.

My card design was based on this sketch from Verve:
