Well, now that Halloween is over, it's time to start really focusing on Thanksgiving and (really just) Christmas!
This card started out using the Mojo Monday sketch from last week, but I ended up not really following the sketch much :-) Oh well, I guess that's the whole point of a sketch, right?
I used Teresa Kline's example (she is one of the Mojo Monday contributors) for the starting idea for my card. I loved how she stitched her little piece of paper on the left, but I don't have a sewing machine. No worries! There is almost always a "faux" method for everything in stamping :-) Using my Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, I pierced zig-zagging holes, then I used my Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker to draw "faux thread." I think it turned out pretty well. Even in real life, it looks like I stitched the card with Old Olive thread and a sewing machine!
I used the Top Note Die and the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig to stamp the sentiment. I also made my own green and white snowflake patterned paper using Whisper White craft ink and Whisper White embossing powder. Again, I think it turned out really well!
It's always nice when a card that takes an hour to make turns out looking pretty good! Hope you're all having a great week! Thanks for reading!.jpg)
