I started this card by piecing a bit of purple, polka dot, patterned paper, along with some pink, polka dot, patterned paper, onto a sheet of White cardstock; adhered it to the Kraft, cardstock, card face; and machine stitched, with pink-threaded, zig-zag stitches, around their combined edges.
I then wrapped a length of Lilac Lace, seam binding ribbon, horizontally, around the card face; tied it, in a double bow, near the left edge; and embellished it with a large pearl, backed with a white, chord bow. That yummy, seam binding ribbon was a gift from the talented Debbie Marcinkiewicz. She sells it, in four yard bundles, in the Paper Sweeties Shoppe, for a mere $3, here. Thank you, Debbie!
The center, White, cardstock panel was then stamped, in Jet Black ink, with the potted geraniums on the bench, as well as a couple of butterflies. All images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits, and the butterflies' centers were doused in a hint of glitter.
I then spritzed over everything with Crumb Cake ink, before stamping the "thanks so much" sentiment, in Jet Black ink, on a strip of vellum and anchoring it, to the stamped, cardstock panel, with pink-threaded, straight, machine stitches, framing its edges. Before adhering it, with foam tape, in the center of the prepped piece, I backed it with a swatch of cheesecloth to complete the look.
