Good morning everyone! I have quite an accomplishment to share with you. Today I have my first card completed with sewing on it!!! LOL. My husband bought me a sewing machine2 years ago for Christmas and I spent forever trying to figure out how to thread it! Then I practiced sewing on paper and everthing I did wound up in the trash. So I just gave up on it and my poor little sewing machine sat in the closet. Well recently I took up sewing, this time on fabric, again, for the first time, and decided last night I would try again and make it work. Finally, I have success!!
I guess I should have opted for that sewing elective in school, but, no not me. I had to prove what a liberal I was and took wood shop instead, after all. it was the first year they "allowed" girls in the class. hehe
Ok back to my card. It covers 2 challenges this week, Friday Sketchers provided the sketch,and what a great sketch it is! Lots of layers! Stampin for the Weekend provided the color challenge, Pink & Grey!! I love pink and grey together.
Card Supplies: Pink & grey cardstock by Bazzill, All dp by The Paper Studio, ribbon, and my little kitten with her ball of yarn is a digital from Mo's Digital Pencil.
I actually kept with the pink & grey theme and used a very pale pink cardstock for my image.
That's it for today. Enjoy your day.
