Here's my card -
The papers are from Melissa Frances' Classic Elegance' pad.
Distressed and stitched the background paper onto grey then white card before adding all the different layers.
All the distressing done with Pumice Stone DI or Weathered Wood DI.
I turned down the corner of the third layer before hand stitching the button Then machined the whole layer three quarters of the way round onto the base card.
Rolled up some material scraps and stuck them behind the turn down to imitate fabric rolls.
Added some lace and some cream seam binding ribbon, hanging the metal scissors charm from the centre of the bow.
All the stamps were from a free set with a card making magazine and the buttons are from my stash.

A gorgeous creation, Viv! I love everything about it! The vintage feel, the colours, the papers and the stamps! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeen loving this one since you popped it on the blog Viv, really like the sift greens and all the little coordinating elements you have incorporated. Decided as a diversion from last weeks performance to watch Stevie in his new league, was like watching pain dry, not the same as or game at all.

Hi Viv, I apologise for not having been by recently but I thought that you would be away for the month with no time for cardmaking but I see you have still managed to post a few and this one is absolutely gorgeous. I love all the fabrics and stitching and the pretty little scisssors charm and the buttons together with the sewing themed stamps make this a fantastically creative card. I will be back sooner next time. x
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm sorry if you have received two versions as I wasn't sure if the first had gone through! x
ReplyDeleteWonderful card for the sewing theme Viv. I admire anyone who can sew or knit, neither of them get on with me or me with them :o)
ReplyDeleteJackie xx
WOW-WEE!!! your card is absolutely STUNNING Viv - love it, love it, love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI did giggle to myself as I was reading your instructions you said 'all the distressing done with pumice stone' and I thought - that is very creative but then realised you meant pumice stone distress ink - doh!!! Yes I know that I'm stupid!!

Absolutely stunning! The layers, the texture, the stitching - it's fabulous and the sort of card I would love to be able to create but it's not a style that comes easily to me. Thank you so much for entering our September Stitching Challenge. I hope we see you again for the October challenge Karen P (DT House of Cards)
