I really must pluck up courage to use a sewing machine, this card took ages just because I hand stitched all the mats. The reason for the stitching its the challenge today over on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and we also welcome the two Vickys as permanent members of the DT.Do go and check DT's creations, some of them are much braver than I actually used a machine.
So I've got my money, my list and the tickets, so what are the odds that I bring home stuff not on my list!
Absolutely gorgeous Debby! Your stitching looks fab!
ReplyDeleteWow Debby,
ReplyDeleteYou hand stitched your card!! thats what i call dedication, i actually bought myself a little sew machine exactly for this but too scared to risk it!

Beautiful card Debby! I love these gorgeous papers you've used! I have got a sewing machine but to be honest very rarely use it! It is a lot easier than hand sewing all your layers though! Lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteP.s Debby your card just reminded me of a time when i was at a car boot sale and on the stall ahead of i saw one of those little sewing machines..it was used but still had its box and all the bits.anyways i was just about to enquire "how much" when this woman barged past grabbed it(literaly) and you know how much she snapped it up for..£1.50 i was mortified..lol i could not believe it...i was so sick as a parrot lol but my 17 year old daughter thaought it was so funny..

Lovely card, such a cute image. Hope you had fun at Farnborough.... Ouch on your purse xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Debby, this is one of my all time fav stamps, I really can't believe you have handstitched all this, reminds me of the Elves and the Shoemaker story by the Brothers Grim, your work is so beautiful, do you leave it all cut out over night and then those little elves come and stitch together your lovely work? ha ha Happy crafting, (bet your fingers were sore after that), Sue xx
ReplyDeleteHi Debby
ReplyDeleteSorry about things on the cute and girly challenge, it all got too much, so glad you desided to stay with it.
As always another really wonderful card, the lace is beautiful and your stitching looks super. I too desided to taken the demon sewing machine, it's only practise and the effect is great.

Debbie this is so adorable. Love your layout and stitching and lace. I love how you cut out your images and how you "round" them to give them dimension. Have you thought of doing a tutorial on this method?
ReplyDeleteEverytime I check your blog I am mystified as to how you get the 3=d look to your cards. Part of the image looks like it's on paper but then it looks like you've cut out part of it. How do you do this? You cards are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Do give the sewing machine a go, it's not that scary - promise LOL :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed Make It, I went yesterday and enjoyed myself, bought some Bazzill Bling and Basics at a good price. Not my favourite show though, the noise from the tent was dreadful
ooo this is gorgeous sweetie, wonderful papers, image and embellies :), love it
