Wow it's Monday already... time for another of Suzanne's
Autumn, supplies challenges at
This week Suzanne wants us to do some
Sewing!! ... Real or Faux..
As most of my crafty friends know I don't do sewing... but last Christmas I was bought a singer sewing machine ... cos Joe had heard me going on about how popular it was to use stitches on cards etc. I usually do faux stitches but now I have a machine.. well thought I'd better have a go at using it... well once I'd mastered loading the shuttle and getting the yarn to come up... if you know what I mean! lol.
Proof that I did use the sewing machine! lol
Faux stitching on the Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves which were cut from a CB Guild DP then shaded with DI Rusty Hinge and Aged Mahogany. I adhered them with Pinfare Glue to the Kaisercraft DP which had been shaded with the same DI's. I distressed the edges of the DP and slightly crinkled the leaves.
The brown background card has been stamped with leaves in Versamark (lovely set of clear stamps with lots of different leaves but I've no idea who made them
:o( ) the card was also given the same shading treatment as before. The base card measures 18cm square.
By the time you're reading this... I'll be in Chester with three of by friend, shopping but mainly wining and dining!! cos it will soon be Maureen's birthday ... she'll be away on her actual birthday so we're celebrating early!
Don't forget the monthly winner will recieve a £10 Joanna Sheen gift voucher from our sponsor
Thank you for looking I soo appreciate it.
take care
