Sew Pretty

This is the card I made Sis for her birthday. Sis loves sewing and knitting and I usually make her a card depicting one or the other. Last year was knitting so this year I had a look through my stash of freebie papers from magazines and selected some to make the card below.


The paper pattern  paper is 'Sew Pretty' by Aspire Crafts and also the Handmade sentiment. The women dressed is a Raspberry Road Design. The Tape measure paper is an unknown. I have glued them all to sheets of thin card before trimming down to size and  distressing around the edges using a TH. distress tool.
I have adhered to a blank scalloped edge card base and the sentiment is a Britannia word die cut. The scissors and cotton reel are mdf cut outs from Scrap Matts and the green thread from my stash.
As I have used snippets of  card from  cereal boxes to glue the papers onto I can hop over to Di's blog and enter the playground. I haven't played on the swings in such a long time. I'm not going near those pogo sticks or the pond.

Entering into the following challenges:
Pixie's Crafty Workshop #296 and 297.  Use up your snippets. (bits of cereal boxes).
Allsorts challenge #432. Use at least two DP's.

    A fabulous card Valery, with the distressed edges of the card it looks as though it material fraying slightly. Just right for a stitcher.

    What a wonderful card Valery, love the dresses and all the embellishments. I've noticed patterns for these 1950s dresses in the sewing shops, so your card is right on trend, Kate x

    She will put this at the top of her favorite sewing-theme cards from you, Anne! It full of wonderful vintage details and reminds me of all the patterns I used to drool over in the fabric store, wishing I could afford to buy and sew all of them!! Hugs, Darnell

    This is absolutely lovely my friend! I remember my Mum having a dress just like the spotty one when we lived in Singapore. Gorgeous card and I adore the addition of the thread as well - very clever!

    Thank you for joining us in the Snippets Playground!

    Hugs
