I tried a new something for this card. I have never actually sewed on a card before. I have done the faux stitching, but never actual thread and a needle. It was time consuming, but worth the effort. I like the way it turned out.
I began by making a card 6x6 white card base. I added a panel of DCWV DP. I cut two purple strips of Recollections card stock and a strip of green Recollections card stock. I layered those towards the bottom of the card. The strip of DP in the middle is DCWV. I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and colored it with BIC Markers and a white gel pen for highlights. I cut out the image using my circle cutter. I inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo and added some black stitching around the image. The sentiment is from Tami Mayberry's Faithful Florals stamp set. I matted it on the same purple card stock. The green glitter "brads" are actually drops of hot glue with glitter pressed onto them. It's a really simple process and you can make them to coordinate your project. It takes about 6 minutes to make 7 of them. I found the technique on a YouTube video..Check it Out.
Thanks so much for stopping back in tonight. I truly appreciate it. God bless y'all.
