If you've arrived here from the lovely and talented Marcy's blog, welcome to the next stop along the hop! Wasn't her bright and fun card amazing?! She always has had a way with color!
I chose to use a sewing theme for my card. I used patterned papers papers from the DCWV "Crafty" paper pack. I used a pinking edge die, some floss around the spool of thread and a cute little pun for the sentiment. Finished it off with the tiniest buttons I had in my stash and some faux stitching.
Hop on over to my favorite calligrapher, Pandy, to see the lovely button creation she has waiting for you! Pandy creates her own sentiments with her gorgeous calligraphy, which adds that beautiful something special to her creations. You will love the sentiment she created for her card! Have fun!
This is beautiful! I love the embossed image and sentiment, and the pretty papers and summery colours, a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteLove the button paper, and those teensy buttons! Omgosh they're cute! Winding the floss around must have been so fiddly, but what a fab detail :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous card - love it!
