Yay! Neat & Tangled turns one this month :) I used Every Day Circles and stamped the cardbase in blue, orange and aqua. It turned out to be a beautiful background, but a little too bright and busy for my birthday sentiment.
So I lightened the background by stitching a piece of vellum over the card base and stamped my birthday sentiment in black.
I love how simple this card looks and it's just perfect for mailing!

I LOVE this card!! The stitching really makes it! Do you use a regular sewing machine to do it?
