Mamma's Sewing

Good morning all!

It's Thursday & it's time for my DT card for 

Just Inklined!

The image I have used today is called

Mamma's Sewing

This is one of the recent releases & I thought I was just  perfect

 for Mother's Day!

Here's a closer look at the image!

As you can see I added some stitching around the image!

Don't laugh, at my sewing, it's an old sewing machine that I was given &

 I'm still trying to figure out how it works!

Not sure where the DP is from, it's been in my stash  forever,

I think I must have got it in a candy giveaway.

I added some little fish tails & buttons as well as a little 

lace double bow onto which I sewed a button!

The buttons & lace have also been in my stash forever!

A little side view of my card just for completeness!
The font I have used for the entiment is 1942 Report

Thanks for popping in!

We're now divided into Team A & Team B

Leesa at the helm, quite rightly so as she is The Navy Wife! lol

This Week,
The Challenge,  #160 is - Share The Good News
 we'd like you to use News Print/ Book Print on your project

So, as leader of Team A!
 I'd like to present to you my card!

The minute I saw this image, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

The image I have used is Mother's Day Bouquet.

The sentiment comes with the image if I'm not mistaken!

This little card is for my Mother In Law, the lovely Joyce,  

from Hubby & I!

I'm not allowed to call her Mum but I can get away with it for Mother's Day.

She loves to potter in the garden & is very practical. 

She isn't a frilly person at all.

I'm hoping she'll love this card as much as I loved making it for her!!!

(I've not even started on my own Mum's Yet!)

I used a 5x5" base card in white linen card stock.

I added a matt of  Green card stock then an embossed DP which I got 

in my local craft shop.

It's called Crafty Jacques & is in Leith Mills 

just over the road from work!

It's small & doesn't carry an awful lot of stock but I'm hoping 

it will expand as time goes on!

I love popping over at lunchtime & picking up some bits & pieces!

I also made a couple of little photo corners.

The image was coloured with Promarkers & I added a matt of the green card.

The print I have used is book print. It's a page from an old book.

I scrunched it up, rubbed it with some distress ink then coated it 

a couple of times with PVA glue to give it a bit of a sheen.

This was then adhered to a square frame which I attached over 

the image at an angle. I used pinflair glue to give some dimension.

The buttons & ribbon were from my stash!

The sentiment was cut with a nestie & then coloured with 

distress ink whilst still in the dies

I decorated the inside of the card to match.

I hope you like my little card!

Now make sure you pop on over to the challenge blog & check out all the
