Thanks to this weeks challenge at
My Time To Craft Challenge I have managed to get my creative juices back on track.It is a great theme and we would like you to make a card with a Vintage feel. The theme allows for many interpretations for all sorts of occasions.My contribution will eventually travel several hundred miles to my sister in Italy for her birthday early next year (shh don't tell her).
Sewing was one of our favourite pass-times when we were still at home,infact we both went on to study Textiles/Dressmaking in further education. When the kids were little I made most of their clothes and it's only in relatively recent years that both of us haven't done much sewing.
I love the colours of these papers from Cosmo Cricket called Material Girl although I would not have said they were my favourite colours before I saw these papers. In real life they are vibrant and I think they suit the vintage feel of this card perfectly.Altogether I used 4 different designs from the paper stack and teamed them with cream,greens and a deep orange.
The sentiment label and cotton reel circle are also Cosmo Cricket,the Tailor's Dummy is from Clarity Stamps and I have added ribbon,buttons and lace from stash. The pins are also from stash but I coloured them with Promarkers to match the design.One last thing - I machine stitched the papers to the cream base card.
