Good morning. Made a card for the Merry Monday challenge. This week is a color challenge.
This is the first time I think I have used River Rock so that was great, I'm glad I have some. I actually found some river rock designer paper in my stash. I used a watercolor brush to add some color to the stamped images and added some rock candy dry stickles glitter to the image too. I tried to sew around the sewing machine but I'm doing something wrong with the tension as the thread keeps breaking. So I used my sewing machine to paper pierce instead.
Thanks for taking a look,
Kelly
Hi
I'm editing this post today because as pointed out by LeAnne this card could also qualify for the current challenge at Paper Players which is:
Hooray for more sewing on cards! I don't have a machine, must handstitch, so I can appreciate the effort you took for this! The buttons were a perfect addition, too.
ReplyDeletethanks. I actually had some trouble with my sewing machine and ended up using it to paper pierce then drew on the stiches with my white gel pen.
