Time for another new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts! Design Team sister, Sue, had asked us to create any project with a sewing theme. At first, I was actually going to "sew" something like a small gift bag or even a Cricut cover. Instead, I decided to make a card because I fell in love with the picture I found of a young girl sewing her clothes
The quote "I'm not buying that, I can make that!" is something (I believe) all crafters have said at least once in their life time. I know I say it quite often and so does my mother... the one who taught me how to sew in the first place... and I just know you have too!
The stitching around the card is hand stitched using DMC cross-stitch floss. The white flower is made from the same lace trimming around the card... yes, I sewed that by hand too! LOL!
Thanks for looking!
Now... it's your turn to create something spectacular and join us over at My Sheri Crafts
Card size: 4.25" x 5.5"
Supplies used:
Papers from K&Company
Image from William-Adolphe Bouguereau
Lace given to me by Design Team sister, Charlotte
Fiskars flower punch (for the pink roses... 3 layers each)
Spellbinders for the flourish
Quotes are computer generated
Lots of inking around the edges
Raquel,
ReplyDeleteJust love your card. Loads of stitching bits and bobs on there. Yes I too have said "I can make that" at some time lol. Great use of the lace around the card and the flower.
