Thanks Sew Much
Happy Friday! I always have the best intentions of blogging while I’m traveling, but other things always seem to creep up instead. I ran out of time to create a sketch this week so the Sketch Crew will be back next Friday with a new sketch. But I did get a chance to make a few projects before I left so I do have something to share today! I love the little icons in the From the Heart set and decided to pair the cute sewing machine with a sentiment from the coordinating Funnies set. I started by stamping the image in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and coloring it with Copics. I punched it out with a 1 3/8” circle punch and popped it up over the top of four squares cut from October Afternoon Thrift Shop patterned paper. I sponged around each of the squares with Dark Brown chalk ink before adhering them to the panel. Then I started searching through my ribbon and trim for something sewing appropriate and found a scrap of mini rose trim. I love using up scraps! In order to hold the ruffle trim down a little better, I pierced a pattern onto the card front and used colored floss to hand-stitch the detailing. To finish it off I stamped the sentiment, punched it out with the word window punch, and popped it up underneath the sewing machine.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’m excited to meet those of you who are attending our Dinner & Card Class event tonight. Should be lots of fun!
