Lots of PTI goodies on here as well as some yummy pattern paper from MME! If you can believe it, the thing that took me the most time on my card wasn't all the stitching but that bow! I knew I didn't want a scrunchy bow so I took my Chi flat iron to my seam binding and........whala! A flat ribbon. The rules for this round of cards had to be a Fall card using twine. So I worked my button twine in there with my bow. I think it really stands out over the deep terracotta colored bow.
My card did have the help of the Mojo Monday sketch for the week. Love this sketch! Alright, keeping it short today so the only other thing I ask is for your VOTE! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
