Give me wings


Do you sew on your cards? Do you want to try if you don't?
Come on over to Simply Scrapping Crafts for a brand new tutorial and challenge!
The card DT is hosting a new challenge every Wednesday, and this week  the challenge is SEWING!

I used 2 stamps by Unity and shades of grey and pink CS to create this one. Some simple distressed edges and a few stitches with my machine were all it needed to "finish it off".

If you love to sew on your cards, or if you like the look and want to give it a whirl, hop over to SSC and post your creation for a chance to win some fabulous prizes.

Thanks for stopping by today, I plan to play catch up on everyone's blogs ASAP, so keep an eye out!

Love the pinks and greys! I am hoping that soon very soon I will be shown how to sew! I want to sew on my cards so badly but I dont even know how to thread the darn machine!! :)

Oh my goodness, I DO want to sew! I even bought a sewing machine a few months ago and it just taunts me from across the room! I'll go check it out. Thx

Now, YOUR card looks awesome. Love the colors and the cool and funky vibe from the stitching!

I just love that metal thingamajig on the corner there... I'm guessing Tim Holtz? Love the sewing, too! I have yet to try that method!
