Sew What!

Good morning - wow can you believe its the first of August already? So scary where this year is going.  As it is the first of the month that means its time for another challenge at A Little Bit Crafty.  This month the theme is "Sew What" so we would love to see your interpretation of the theme.  I was very lucky to have been given a stamp set by one of our fabulous sponsors - here is my card:

The fab stamp set is from Darkroom Door Rubber Stamps called Dressmaker. I must say I was really impressed with the quality of the stamps.  They come in a DVD type case with clear pictures of the images on the cover.  The stamps themselves are lovely red rubber, deeply etched.  Thirteen stamps in the set so, as you can see, I only used a few! When I got some Chanel for my birthday I knew I wanted to keep the ribbon to use and so I thought I would incorporate it into this card.  I stamped the dressmaker form on black card with Brilliance ink and embossed with some white SeaFoam EP.  I used Centura Pearl for the backing, half embossed with a sewing embossing folder and the other half I stamped the pattern stamp lightly with Memento London Fog in a random pattern. I stamped and embossed the cotton spool and cut it out, wrapping some crochet cotton around it.  The sentiment, which hasn't been picked up very well by the camera is from Craftwork Cards.

We have some fabulous sponsors this month:

We would love to see your project, remember you don't have to do a card we love any type of craft as long as it is home made! Please head over to A Little Bit Crafty to have a look at the rest of the DT work for some more inspiration!

Here are a couple of photos from our holiday, unfortunately I forgot to take that many!!

Thank you so much for looking and the lovely comments you leave, they are so much appreciated as I know how time consuming it is! Take care xx
