Outside the circle

This weeks challenge at Split Coasts Stampers. Free 4 all is called Outside the Circle and it is to use Brads on your card but they can't be round. True to form most of my brads are round however I do have some multi coloured flowers which I used on this card.

I liked the effect of the thread against the navy card stock so I stitched a second one, this time adding part of a swirl down the side. 

Believe it or not I used the same navy coloured card stock in both, it's obviously just the quality and light of the photos that make it look different.
