You're Sew Special

Hi Everyone! Happy Memorial Day weekend! I created this card for Lucy's Digi Challenge. I've been wanting to try this Hero Arts DigiKit so her challenge was a good opportunity.

I paper pieced the sewing machine with a mix of patterned and solid card stock. I used colored pencils to add a touch of shading. The card stock fabric was hand cut with a slight taper toward the machine and a wave at the bottom. I threaded the machine with red embroidery floss and then continued it with three stitches on the card stock fabric. To create the stitches I pierced the card stock with my actual sewing machine then hand stitched the floss. I finished up the card with a few black gems, black machine stitching and a big glossy red button.

Thank you Lucy for the fun challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mama Elephant: October Anniversary Stampede!

It's Mama Elephant Birthday Stampede time!  This is so awesome, right? I'm so excited you've joined me from Stephanie's blog! Today I'm a sharing a lot of stamping goodness! Now that I'm counting, my card uses 4 new Mama Elephant stamp sets ! This card all started with the sentiment. My kids are always buzzing around the house singing and one of their favorite is Everything is Awesome (Lego Movie anyone?). :) I started with a faint pencil line to create AWESOME from the new Block Party Letters . I colored them in with Copics and then did some creative masking and stamping from Happy Everything to add the beginning of the sentiment. Next I stamped the penguin and hat (from the new Artic Penguins ), colored them and die cut them for a perfect cut. The soft, grey striped background was created using the new Boutique Borders . All stamps and dies can be purchased NOW at the Mama Elephant store HERE . Next up? The very talented JJ Bolton !
