I really like this card, the colors went together very well. The Sketch shows a tag and I thought I would hand sew with off-white embroidery floss around one side of the tag and then in the center to mimic the trail the butterfly had taken. The butterfly itself is a die cut by Spellbinders and was layered twice to show it in flight and 1/2 pearls as the butterfly's body and head. Machine sewing was used on the card front border and the lace is vintage, another one of my finds at the vintage shops I frequent. I am sure you noticed the flower, that was at Michaels, it appears that two different kinds of flower pedals were used but I just reversed which side was up. I also placed some dew drops on the lace and in the upper right corner. I hope you like my card, please let me know what you think.
I now have a new appreciation for Tuesdays, I like to pop out of bed and log on to my computer just to see what My Midnight Madness Design Team sisters have brewed up - make sure to stop by and check out their Sketch card #12. Have a great day and hope to see YOUR card as an entry in the MMSC.
This card is currently listed on ebay, check my ebay listings in the upper right hand corner for a peak inside, thank you.
Jane what a lovely card. I especially like the stitching that is a trail to your beautiful butterfly. What a fantastic take on the sketch challenge!

Love the vintage theme of this card with Victoria type of style. Awesome with the lace trim and the texture cardstock for the flower. The little butterfly is a great touch!

Jane dearie, I feel the same way about getting up on tuesday to see what was made! I love how you did the butterfly trail and the handsewing idea.. That was what I was going to do, but ran out of time so I just hand drew mine instead . Lol Great job on this card, love the side stitches.. I don't know how to do that kind of stitching, do you just move the around? xox ~Jeni
ReplyDeleteJeni, Just used a paper punch to make a hole and measured with my eye then sewed.
ReplyDeleteJane, this card is just so pretty! I really love every detail from the hand sewing to the machine sewing, to the vintage lace, to the dew drops and butterfly! The papers are perfect. I think you've out-done yourself here my friend. :)
