Wow - it's Friday and I actually got to play along with another challenge. This time I followed the challenge from All That Scraps Wednesday challenge - which was to sew on your card. My machine still isn't working, so I hand-stitched this one. I am so pleased with how this turned out.
The adorable image is from the Spring Pixie kit from All That Scraps. It's funny, I have two boys but I rarely do any boy cards. This image just happened to fit exactly what I started out to do. Let me tell you about my little journey.
I found a blog called Penny Duncan Creations. If you haven't visited her, YOU MUST! This woman is amazing with her digital creations. She has SVGs, digi-images, tutorials. Anyway, I found her blog and was enthralled by her projects. I downloaded some of her free SVG files and immediately set out to make a card. I started with her SVG cut which is the lacy mat beneath the Pixie image. Then I cut a rectangle to fit inside the mat. That just happened to be the perfect size for the stamp. Well, I originally cut the green mat as a test... it just happened to match the colors of some new buttons I picked up from the $1 bin at Michaels. I love when things just fall into place to create an adorable card!
