The Long & Short of it

I'm joining the crew over at CAS-ual Fridays
again this week. They have been hosting the best
and most unique challenges. This month's challenge,
The Long & Short of it
was to create a tall, skinny card (or a short, fat
card depending how you go about it!). I can honestly
say that I've never even thought to create a card
with these dimensions...not sure what that says about
my creative genius (or obvious lack thereof!) Ha!
Anyways, enough chit chat. Here's what I came up with:

Crazy, eh? Who would've thunk?
I'm super happy about the way it turned out.
I think the tallness of the card just stretches
the happy factor to epic proportions :)

Here's a little close-up of the flower:
I knew I wanted something a little extra-
special because of all the white space (well,
green space, if you're going to be technical)
of the card and I think the embroidered
flower adds just the perfect amount of snazzy.

I'm loving these challenges and seeing what all
the girls come up with. Lots of crazy inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by :)

The Nitty-Gritty Details:
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Melon Mambo, Whisper White (SU!)
Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Rich Razzleberry (SU!)
Stamps: flower (Material Girl - CC & Unity), sentiment (Unity - April KOM),
lazy daisy stitch stamp (Messy stitches - Autumn Leaves)
Other: white embossing powder, embroidery floss, sewing machine
