"Lanterns Sparkle"

Tried stitching on this card for the 1st time!! I really like the effect, I'm sure I'll do it again!
For those of you that are familiar with my work, 
I DIDN'T USE ANY COPICS on this card, just paper piecing!
This card had quite a bit of fussy cutting, but I'm pretty happy with it!

stuff I used:
Unity Kit of the Month February 2011
Card base is Colorbok Cool Earth Tones
Stamped card base is The Paper Factory Seaside Fashion Colors
Lanterns & Scalloped edges in DCWV Stack 7
Memento Rich Cocoa
imaginisce iRock tool & rhinestones
ek success scalloped edge punch
Coats & Clarke cotton/poly thread with my old faithful Elna
Martha Stewart Scoring board

Challenges I've entered this card in:
totally gorjuss challenge #77 bling-it-on
CR84FN #25
Unity Friends with Flair April 29

    I think this is a lovely and very unusual card - love the stitched detail. It would be really good if you could link your post to the CR84FN blog and show our colour graphic. Thanks for playing.

    @ Wendy-- no he's not Dutch, he got the "Anderson" by adoption, but we live in a part of Iowa that has LOTS of Dutch culture.
