Betsy-esque

Like the multitude of papercrafters out there, Betsy Veldman is what I would love to be when I grow up.  Here's a card I  made which tried to emulate some of her style; bright colour combinations, stitching (faux in my case), layers with inked edges.  I am quite pleased with the result!

After posting this I realized it also qualifies for this week Make It Mondays - adding colour to non-neutral cardstock!

The dahlias were diecut from dotted patterned paper.  I realized why I haven't been using this set as often as I should - the larger leaf shape was throwing me off!  I much prefer the smaller one for this many cut outs on an A2 card.
 

Also, as a mistake, I diecut the wrong side of the paper, so the stamp and die didn't line up perfectly - but I actually like this better!  I shaded the Bitty dot paper with a Hibiscus burst copic.
