You are sew sweet...

I have made this card to use the stamp set that I recently purchased from Michales - Stampabilities - sewing clear stamp set. I was so dying to use it but was unable to come up with the right idea on my card. But finally, I did it :) Of course, only after combining a few challenges together. 
My card was inspired by the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch #34, the colors from Color Q #195 and use a Tag challenge from A Blog Named Hero #26. Here's my card...



The tag is hand made and lightly inked using a sponge, the different stitches are hand drawn, the image of the spindle is stamped, colored, cut out and stuck on the tag. The horizontal strip to match the sketch is made by perforated blade using a paper trimmer. It is then lightly inked using a sponge dauber and masking. The colors chosen are as per the color Q challenge. The inks used are Memento Dew drop dye inks.

The challenges are -

Thank you for stopping by :)
