Needlework/Sewing Card

This card measures 12.5 x 12.5 cms.

The idea for this card came to me while rutteling about in a bag of brass charms that had been given to me.

I’ve used my X-cut 1in scalloped square punch and paper from a Papermania  Signature Blueberry Hill pad.

I’ve gone a bit mad on the faux stitching in a light brown Marvy le Plume fine tipped pen, but I think it works with the theme of the card.

  6. think you are onto a winner with the sewing theme - like Marc it takes me right back to watching my grandma and mum making clothes. I still love sewing but find I never have eough time these days - mainly cos I can blog hop for hours - lol!!

  8. What a pretty card! I love the effect of the faux stitching on the scallops. I looks like it has actually been stitched.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
