I'm excited to showcase a new stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps being released this month called Beenstalks. Michele did a wonderful job designing this set as usual! There are many background building vine elements in this set, some stand alone images as well as beautiful sentiment choices. I stamped the large, solid leaf sample repeatedly on watercolor paper and then misted with water in a few choice places. After then panel dried, I stamped the sentiment and the whimsical leaf images, fussy cut white leaves and then added black enamel accents. I stitched the panel to a green card base. Please stop by the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for more excited examples!
I'm going to take a blogging break to get some things in order, not sure how long it will be. I'll miss commenting on your gorgeous creations and creating some projects of my own, but it is what is needed right now.

Love your card! The green is AWESOME! :)
How cool is that background and sweet little sentiment and branch!!
Your card is beyond delightful! It's in my favorite shade of green and the background and the little sprig and sentiment add just the right finishing touches. Enjoy your break. More of us need to learn to just put aside things now and then for a while. I'm planning a break of my own from some things, but it's hard to do it when so much is habit and built-in routine. We'll be here when you get back!
This is beautiful, Karen! I love the little white leaves you paper-pieced.
Hope you have a great break; we'll miss you but will be here when you are ready to come back.
