Sew...What's New?

And here is, yet, another card in my quilting theme! That's all I've been doing lately, in between all my workshops during Stampin' Up!'s best sale of the year - SALE-A-BRATION! But still, I used another retired set that is soooo old, it is virtually impossible to find any where! But this antique sewing machine is such a classic and my mother in law has always loved this image. She has her mother's sewing machine that, of course, looks a lot like this one. I did a "faux" stitching technique around the edges to give it that special detail without actually having to pull out my little sewing machine! It's amazing, in person, just how much this technique really looks like I took the time to sew my paper :) The button stamp is actually a single button from another ancient stamp set, "Buttoned with Love", that I stamped 5 in a row, colored them with markers, and them cut them out together to make one long row! All in all, this card may look simple, but is actually rather time consuming. I think the final effect is well worth it!
