I stamped four square panels with a flower and leaf image from In Bloom, detailed the flower centers with french knots. Punched the bottom edge of the purple panel with the Fiskers Upper Crest Border Punch, stamped the sentiment and wrapped it with white floss. Stamped white tiny polka dots, from Polka Dot Basics II, on the card base.
I hope she likes it, I know she likes purple and my cards with the square panels are her favorite. Something I like to do when giving cards out is to write out the message on a piece of white computer paper then lightly tack it into place on the inside. That way the message can be easily removed and the receiver can reuse the card.Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! Thanks so very much for visiting me to day!

I love the french knots you've been doing! Any chance you'll do a tutorial on how to make them? I've looked at tutorials on the web but they are all for stitching on fabric, and it would be great to hear any special tips/techniques for stitching them on paper.
