I really have a passion for sewing, and try to use it in most of my work, like this card featuring the Sew Thoughtful and Sew Thankful Cling Mounted Stamps from Red Rubber Designs!
I started with an older sheet of Basic Grey's "Lucille" paper, and cut up some pieces to collage together with Prima Clear Gesso. Then I sprayed it with some LSG sprays (Cotton Candy Pink, Hottie Patottie Hot Pink, and Black Orchid Silver). After distressing the edges, I machine stitched them with a black zigzag. For the design elements, I took my inspiration from sketch #135 from As You See It, making it vertical and foregoing the striped background.Instead I used the stripes for the banner with my sentiment.
The mannequin was embossed with Ranger's Fine Silver Embossing Powder, and colored with Distress Spray Stain (Brushed Pewter). Then I added the skirt and corset that I made out of black lace and pink organza, stitching the sides of the corset to give it some shape, and hand-stitching the lacing up front. It was SEW fun to make!
The sewing machine, scissors, and sentiment were embossed with Ranger's Fine Black Embossing Powder, and the sewing machine and scissors were also colored with Distress Spray Stain (Brushed Pewter). Behind the sentiment banner, which was machine stitched in silver, I rubbed some Inka Gold in Platinum. Even though both stamps include buttons, I decided to add some real ones for a little dimension.
