Ruffled Bloom ala A Muse

I'm taking a class via the amazing Julie Ebersole at mycreativeclassroom.com. Actually, I'm taking 2 of her classes :) This card is for session 1 of the Simply Great Card Design. We were suppose to find an inspiration for a card..make a sketch and create. I'm not a sketcher, I do everything in my head...I do some mock ups...probably recycle some designs...and eventually things fall into place for me. This is a great example of how I work. I cut out 2 white panels to work with and ended up recycling both of them. I couldn't find a branch/leaf image that would work. The sizes were all wrong along with the boldness of the images. I ended up using my Stampendous Ruffled Bloom.

Can you see the stitching? It cracks me up everytime I sew....I'm constantly talking to myself....I'm trying really hard to get a handle on the speed. I almost stitched the white panel down too but thought that I didn't want to risk any sewing mishaps which would make me have to recycle the entire card...I am using my precious Wild Wasabi....
