Casual Mid Week Challenge #23

Kimberly Crawford posted the latest Casual Mid Week Challenge #23 on the Papertrey Ink forum. I instantly knew what I wanted to do when I saw it!
It is very clean and simple. I had enough of this light blue-green Bazzill left over from another project to make 2 square cards (4 1/4" x 4 1/4"). Then I added the leaves (from Beautiful Blooms - Papertrey Ink) with Blue Bayou (Stampin' Up) stamped off once on scrap paper. I added a strip of Blue Bayou paper with the sentiment (from Simple Little Things - Papertrey Ink) repeated across the middle in Blue Bayou ink. Finally, I pulled out my sewing machine and stitched across the top and bottom with black thread.
Very simple but I like the results. I don't think I need to add a supply list, it's in the description.
Thanks for visiting.

Great job with the sketch, Donelda! I love the clean and simple look; combine it with botanicals and you have a favorite of mine! This is a fun sketch; I think I'll give it a go, too.
