The challenge this week is a fabulous sketch from our lovely teamie NAT
Penny Black Image...Nature's Best
Ribbon: American Crafts
Sentiment: LOTV..Circular Sentiments - Christmas
With time fast running away from me at the moment...this was going to be a simple quick to make card so why did I decide to hand stitch around the panels and trim around all those holly leaves....I have no idea...another losing the plot moment perhaps...
and the prize this week for one lucky winner
4 rolls of ribbon of the winner's choice
from
why don't you pop over for a browse...check out the huge selection of gorgeous ribbons and great special offers to tempt you too.
After the social whirlwind that was the SECC...I was feeling a bit down in the old dumps yesterday and just couldn't settle myself back into the work stuff so instead of grumping around in the cubbyhole arguing with Mr Mojo I took myself off to join the lovely girls at SEW SOCIAL FRIDAY at the IN PLACE TO BE...my lovely buddy ANN's new shop...THE SEW ROOM in Alford...a morning of fun chat and coffee really do wonders for the crafty soul....I'm back in the swing again.
Looking forward to seeing what you all create with Nat's sketch....I'll be popping by to pay you a visit...until then enjoy your weekend and happy crafting.

wow Kath...gorgeous card. Love the stitching...is that a chunkier thread you have used as it looks a bit thicker than normal. Fab ribbon and those holly leaves are amazing!!

You do it because you are a perfectionist my dearest Kath, and beautiful it is too!!! - although hand sewing?? - you might just have taken "easy" to the other extreme.

Another lovely card Kath I have just been to the papeterie for some new stash and saw some of your lovely cards on display there, came away with loads of inspiration so off to my craft room for the rest of the day to try some of it out.. Aud x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Kath. Sometimes I wonder why I've done something too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time at the Sew Room. Still not managed to pop over there yet. But my new work colleague is doing well so maybe I'll not need to go in every day next week. I've got Monday off anyway to recover from going to the SECC on Sunday!! Can't wait to get down to Glasgow to see if there's anything left lol!!!!!

Fabulous card, everything goes so very well together but it wouldn't be by you if it didn't.

I'm so glad you decided to do the stitching - it adds such a finished look. I checked out Fantastic Ribbons and was drooling over all their gingham colors. So beautiful!!
