Just sharing a card i actually made last month, but forgot to take a snap b4 i sent it to it's new home..They kindly took a snap for me and then i totally forgot to blog it!!
I first stamped the bottom of my base card using 2 different lace stamps, unfortuntaly i used the wrong type of ink and the lovely detail blured but i knida liked how it went a bit distressed.
I made a couple of inky backgrounds with distress inks, a mini mister filled with water and a non stick craft sheet, You know the old ink, spritz, swish, dab, blotch, spritz some more tecnique!
I then stamped over these using stamps from the Dressmaking No.1, and Ephemera 1 plates available from The Artistic Stamper.
I stamped out the sewing machine onto photo paper to give a nice shine, then stuck that to thick card and cut it out, i wrapped real cotton round the bobbin bit and threaded it through a couple of holes i made to make it look more realistic, the pic doesn't do it justice, it was so darn cute.
I finished off with a couple of real pins and strip of ribbon. I used the mini scrabble tile stamps to produce the wording.
This card fits in with this weeks Crafty Creations Challenge which is 'Distressing' {i know its not the norm paper torn kinda distress but i think it looks pretty shabby so i hope it counts lol}
