Hi Peeps
Sorry I've been quiet for a little while... I had a craft fair last weekend - so was pretty busy... even though the fair was disappointing! It was only in a small village hall - with very little footfall... most people it seemed came for the tea and cake rather than looking at the stalls! Ah well, I ended up in profit and had a lovely few hours.... AND some cake too!

Time for another challenge at In The Pink - and I'm here with my DT card - using one of my favourite images at the moment.... it's the beautiful Flower Maiden from A Day For Daisies.... and a deep dusky pink...
And as our theme this time is
STITCHING - REAL OR FAUX
... I had to dig out my sewing machine and give it a go! I think my lower tension needs some adjustment - but as I've only used my machine for curtains for the last 15 years or so... I don't really know how to do it! Ah well... it managed what I needed so I was happy...

Hope you like what I did with her and that you'll join in the stitching fun at In The Pink - don't forget, you don't need to actually stitch - it can be any type of faux stitching too... including dies!

So... what's stopping you???
Big hugs to all and Happy Crafting...
Oh what an adorable, gorgeous card, love the stitching.

Gorgeous hun, love the elegant image and that subtle dusky pink, so perfect. Pretty stitching too - mine will be faux I'm afraid as I don't own a sewing machine. (Not sure that wanting one for crafting will cut it with the hubster). Beautiful work hun. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteOh that is so elegant and pretty. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd if it makes you feel any better, you know more about using a sewing machine than I do. All I know is that when I press the pedal, the needle *should* go up and down. lol. x
She is soon beautiful Christine - love the dusky pink and your gorgeous LO.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab day.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and image too Christine (can you believe I was looking at that very one today!!!)...I bought a few others though, appearing soon. Your colouring is fabulous as always of course.....peering closely as we speak lol ;) hugs Viv xx
ReplyDeleteOops mean't to add, shame about the craft fair, at least you made a small profit though, well done ;) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful Christine and love how you have coloured her. The paper down the side is gorgeous and even more so with the pearl and diamante trim and stitching.
ReplyDeleteCraft fairs are such hard work aren't they and so disappointing when they are not busy - good you ended up with a profit though.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs Sharon. x
You should definitely dust off that sewing machine more often...the stitched border looks fab :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a really elegant design...well, she is clearly a very elegant lady so it suits her perfectly! And I LOVE her dress with the sparkly dots at the bottom :-)
Big hugs, Kat xx
She is fantastic - love her colouring in. Tried to machine before - utter nightmare...fake is the way to go...looks like you have mastered it though

Oh my! I need that image. Gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think I busted my lower tension doing yoga this morning x
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful Christine, I love the layout and the blingy trim, and real stitching too, it would definitely have been faux if I had done it LOL! Eric and I are off to Wales for a few days as Meg is in respite, but will be in touch when I get back about the rubber stamps I was going to send you, hugs, Colette xx
ReplyDeleteOMG this is so beautiful .Love the image, and you take on the challenge.
