I Sew Hope Your Sunday Will Be A Good One!

Good Morning Beautiful Bloggers!

I do sew hope your Sunday will be lovely!

This week, challenge #140 at The Crafty Pad is

"Stitching"

We want to see stitching on your card!

Real Stitching, Faux Stitching, or Sewing a Button On !

That's the challenge! Now it's up to you!

Here's my card!

We The Crafty Pad DT were given the fab Sewing Machine Image, Elements & 

Sentiments to work with! You can check these out here!

I printed off the sewing machine & ticket sentiment & was trying to decide 

what to do with them when a black square card blank fell in front of me!

I kid you not, it jumped from somewhere out of the jumble that is my stash as

 I sat there on the living room floor, my crafty space!! lol! Karma!!

I already knew the papers I wanted to use, I've had them in my stash forever 

& have used tiny bits of them here & there!

I cut them & matted & layered, adding some lace around the outside of the 

second layer & added some faux stitching. 

Next I added a round doily which I inked with distress ink.

I fussy cut  the sewing machine, cut out a second bobbin for the top of the

 machine, wrapped some cotton thread around it before mounting it with 

pinflair glue. Once the glue was dry I took the thread around the rest of the 

machine as if it was actually threaded ready to sew! 

I then faux stitched around a scalloped circle diecut, 

Next I cut out a little bit of fabric & did some tiny hand stitches to look like the machine was actually stitching.

I also added a little posh pin I made, using the tutorial by the lovely Leesa here

It's not clear in the photo but I lightly inked the sentiment ticket with 

the same distress ink & attached with pinflair glue

finally apart from the images of course, the piece de resistance 

The Flower! Yes, it is handmade but no, not by me I have to admit!

It's made by a crafty friend of mine Lee & I'll tell you about it in another post!

So, thank you so much for sparing the time to look at my little card!

I hope you like it & you can find time to join in The Crafty Pad Challenge this week!

I did also decorate the inside of the card to match the front but unfortunately 

I forgot to take a photo of it I'm sorry!
