It is time again for another smARTworks Tea Party!! This time it was
Giovana's time to give us a challenge! She wanted us to use stitching and ribbon on our cards. What fun! Now, we could use real stitching, faux stitching, or even rub-ons or stamps. I, however, love to pull out my sewing machine and do some sewing on my cards. I think they make cards warm and cozy!! A real home-spun feel.
I stamped the small key from smARTworks'
Lock and Key onto a piece of vanilla cardstock and then sponged on some creamy caramel and cut it out. Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of designer paper. The sentimet reads "The keys to happiness Something to do. Something to love. Something to hope for." I then used a Post-It Note, cut out a heart shape and used the reverse mask to create the heart shape behind the sentiment. First, I used the
HINGE stamp from the Lock and Key set to stamp the swirly image (stamping off the ink first so that it was lighter than the sentiment). Then I did a bit of sponging around the edge of the heart for some definition. I really like how this turned out! Finally, I stitched around all the edges and added the ribbon and button.
Now you have to go check out what the other Design Team Members did with this challenge!

Beautiful card Donelda!!!
Wow! I like the feel of the entire piece - everything goes together so well! I swear the key looks real, and the way you created the heart image... C-L-E-V-E-R!
I should just say "Ditto to what Susan said!" I thought the key was a charm - great effect!
Your sewing is perfect! I just set up my machine and was going to try some last night, but yours is so well lined up and straight and perfect!
Beautiful card, Donelda! The heart behind the sentiment adds nice dimension and is so appropriate, too. I haven't tried sewing on my cards yet, but maybe this challenge is the inspiration I needed!
