sewing deco

 Hi, sharing a deco today. The theme is sewing, and this is my take

The layout is based on Sketch 136 from Card Patterns. The background is stitched paper patchwork. The image is also stitched. 

Just figured out how to mix stitches.

Delightful Challenges says make it dimensional, and I've got a cotton reel. Divas by Design would like to see buttons, and I have four. The (paper) Trail Makers wants ten of something, and I've got ten little gel dots. They are transparent, so I hope you can find them. The last three are inserted in the lace, making little eyes.

Thanks for stopping by!

vintage in coral & red

Today, I am playing with colours from Papercraft Star. I chose to combine coral & red. Not the usual colours I play with, so it's a bit of a challenge. I'm using the sketch from Sketch Saturday as a base.

It's a vintage card (yes, another one!), so I'm linking up with The Crafty Pad. And since I've not used any design papers, I'm also linking up with Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT challenge. I'm seeing a lot of reds here so I can link up with CES challenge blog.

Stamps from Viva Decor, flower punch from Dovecraft, embossing folder from Papermania and dies from Sizzix (leaf) and cuttlebug (flowers & sentiment). Liquid pearls from Ranger & Paper Pen from Viva Decor

girl in pink

Hi again!

It's still October and I have another pink card to show.

~ Ü ~

This card is using the Top Tip #54 sketch from Top Tip Tuesday (sorry, no tip today). Basically pink, it is playing along with the pink challenges over at The Crazy Challenge (CC #87), Incy Wincy Design (challenge #114), My Sheri Crafts (challenge #70) and  Dare to be Sassy Thursday #93. I've added touches of green to create affinity with the green hat in the vintage print. And touches of brown, for a more vintage feel.

The base is stamped with Viva Decor stamps, with a strip of pink vintage print (free download from Cardmaking & Papercrafts), and pink lacy border using a Fiskars punch. All distressed and edged with tattered rose DI, and stitched.

The main image is framed by a cluster of flowers, butterfly and flourish atop lace and pink satin ribbon. The flourish is a sizzix die cut in kraft, which I have inked in pink, and edged in vintage photo DI. The flowers & leaves are a mix of dies and punches.

This cheery lynn butterfly die cut has been inked, coated with pearl pen and topped with a flower gem.

Just a simple ATC today. Playing along with the "what little boys are made of" challenge over at ATC challenges.

The stamp is from Daisy & Dandelion. I have pieced and layered several parts. The flower is highlighted with a white gel pen, and gold liquid pearl centre. The nose also has a pearl-y job done. The backgound is painted and finished with stitching , inking, distressing and liquid pearls.

Also linking up with One Stop Craft Challenges - Anything Goes and Truly Scrumptious - distressing.
