Yes, we're getting punny at Jingle Belles again this week (hey, what can I say, we're goofy that way) ... this week's prompt is "Let it Sew" ... to incorporate some sort of stitching (machine, hand, or faux) into your design.
In my recent crafty travels, I picked-up the new We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Tool, so I thought I would give it a try down each side of my main Webster's Pages panel.
Next I used a thin black marker to "stitch" down each side ... somewhat comforting to know that my faux stitching is just as wonky as my real stitching would be ... looks like investing in the scoring mat might help.
My card was inspired by this card by Scrapflower for the Inspiration Challenge #2 at the The Lily Pad. I liked the layout, stitching, and label-shaped focal panel. I was lucky enough to find a gorgeous scrap of Webster's Pages paper in my8 scrapbin that already had a label in the design.
I added a few vintage rub-ons and several wraps of some wonderful Mission Falls Ivory yarn that I picked up on my trip to the Yarn Shop & More in Kansas City last weekend ... I can't wait to try dying the yarn with some of my spray mists ... it has such a wonderful texture.
They're also making holiday cards at The Corrosive Challenge Blog this week, so if you want, you can hop on over there & play along too.
Oooh...I love your card...such a fun challenge...I'm soooo in:)
