not a monsta...but a bit triumphant

i think this one's sort of clever (she said modestly!) i've used a cuttlebug leaf die and a smaller leaf punch to make a poinsettia...which i then machine stitched onto my card.

(patterned paper: basic grey, autumn leaves, doodlebug + a bit of vintage sheet music; cardstock: dcwv; sentiment sticker: making memories; label die: nestabilities; leaf die: cuttlebug; leaf punch: mcgill; inks: colorbox; gems: mambi adhesives: tombow mono runner & sewing machine)


ok, so it's not rocket science, but finally i've come up with something i genuinely LIKE...and...it's mass-produce-able! this may well be the first time i've had BOTH of those categories overlap in the same card. certainly it's the first time in this xmas season!!! i now believe there's a chance that most of my card list may actually receive something BEFORE april!!! (wahey!!!)

  3. Ooh i love!!! I'd try white thread next time on the flower and border to have more of a contrast. I bet it would stand out even more. Or a light light pink thread would be uber cool too. LOVE this!! :) I'm going to have to find somewhere to set up my sewing machine so I can do cool things like you do.

  4. Lauren.. Your stitching is great... Do you use a standard sewing machine or do you have a small just for the cards ? I would think that the needle and machine don't like the paper very much.... Great colors in this card...
