Another of the fabulous sets from the Greetery's Handiwork release, is this 

vintage sewing machine. Love at first sight!

I 'borrowed' a few of the designers inspirations for my friendship card, like  Dawn's 

triple fabric pile,  and  Kelly's use of the frame embroidery hoop. 'Sew" much

inspiration to  love during release week!

This was made for a dear friend that loves to quilt.

Crazy for the stitched sentiments too!

Have a great day!

 

Tapestry Roses

 

Hello, and hope you're enjoying the end of a very hot summer. 

I finally had some time to play with The Greetery's latest release, and decided

to start with the Roses Tapestry Stencil Set.

...and  couldn't stop! Once the stenciling was done, ran each card through the

Aida Cloth Texture Plate. 

Honestly would have played with this set for days,

but knew I had to make a card, so,

After adding some trims and bobbits, ended up with a thank you card.

I  sew wanted my tapestry to  be the star, but those haughty little red handled 

scissors just had to steal the show. 

Seriously can't believe the detail on these darlings.  In this case, die cut 2 pair, and 

red embossed one, before cutting the handles and gluing them to the silver pair.

Also red embossed the the brad.

I had almost as fun photographing the card with little sewing notions!

I did  one panel on brown cardstock, first laying down a heavy coat of white

(distress oxide Picket Fence), then adding layers of color.

Stay tuned for this one...
