Good Morning!
My sewing machine is very old. It's one that I inherited from my husband's grandmother and it was refurbished when I got it. Unfortunately, it now needs a new belt and some other servicing again. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it, or just get a new one. Big sigh.
In the mean time, I have a small, hand held gizmo and I used it to sew on my card for the first time this weekend. (It's a popular trend at the moment!)
Nothing fancy, just a generic birthday card made for my stash and the challenge at Just Us Girls. I used this paper because it was left over from a previous project, and luckily I had another scrap to use for paper piecing the tea pot image.
Hmmm... I think I'll make some tea...Have a great day!
Details: Stamps: PTI, Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Unknown source, Ink: Versafine, Nestabilities, Punches: Stampin' Up, Ribbon from my supplies.
Karin, I love this card... I especially like how the background really calls "tea" to me... very exotic and colorful. Nice job! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a tea totaler ...... and now after seeing your card ....... I am going to go make myself a cup of tea....... your card is warm and yummy!!!
ReplyDeletelove the multiple rows of stitching in the frame.....I like that look! :)
ReplyDeleteNow I want the Tea Time stamp set from PTI. It looks so cute sitting there. Great job on this, Karin.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun challenge wasn't it!! Your card is great, the tea pot looks so fun!!
ReplyDeleteLovely card! I really like the bright, cheery colors.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like the hand held sewing gizmo? I am thinking about getting one. Right now everything on my cards is faux.
I could use a cuppa my self. Have a great afternoon.
