This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is to use an image you would see in sewing, or we could do anything "stitched" real , drawn in, or die cut.
I had the designer paper with spools in my stash and this was a great opportunity to use it. I made a tag for my focal image using 3318-B Spool of Thread and paired it with 9314-E Sew Special. I stamped the spool of thread on the designer paper spools and fussy cut them out and pasted them on my stamped spools. I did some real machine stitching on the left side of my card - two rows. Used some ribbon thru my tag and card done. I think a purse sewing kit and this card would be a nice little giftie for one of my chemo buddies.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.

Fabulous card for this challenge, like your tag, background paper, your stitching and great props for your photography-the thread even matches the colors on your card!
ReplyDeleteA very cool card! The paper was sure perfect for it. I always love real stitching on cards, and I have rarely done it. Yours is great!

ReplyDeleteVery cute card! I have plans to make some sewing themed cards, too. I sew, as do all of my sisters, so I have several people I can give these cards to. Thanks for the inspiration.
