Sewing on papercrafting projects is a big trend right now and this week's JustRite Friday Challenge is to make any kind of sewing-themed project or use some kind of machine, hand or faux stitching on your project. It can either/also include fabric, buttons, felt, quilting, embroidery, etc. I chose to use JustRite's Stitched With Love stamp set for this card AND included threaded buttons, twill tape (originally used in sewing), and machine zig-zag stitching!
I stamped two of the centers from Stitched With Love with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, die cut them with Spellbinders Classic Square Nestabilities, and then colored them with the Copic markers markers listed below in my supply list. A tiny real button adorns the flower center on the pin cushion.
Copic's Silver Atyou Spica glitter pen makes the needles and pins shimmer like they are real (hopefully you can see that by clicking on the photo above for a larger view)! Spellbinder's Long Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities die was used to cut a frame for the stamped impages from Memory Box's Kraft cardstock. Cornish Heritage Farms' beautiful Art Nouveau backgrounder was stamped with VersaMark on the blush cardstock.
If you play along in JustRite's challenge, you have the opportunity to win a $50 JustRite gift certificate or a $15 gift certificate for being named as honorable mention in the challenge!
