Sew Amazing

I just couldn't resist playing along with the Time Out challenge after seeing their inspiration prompt:

Sewing theme? Yes, please! 

I began by cutting and inking my background pieces then used a stencil or stamp to add the polka dot and ticking details. Once that was done I die cut the sewing machine and accessories, again using inks to colour everything. All the colours were taken from the prompt pic, either the purple from the main body of the pouch or the stripes on the base.

Materials used:

• stamps - Ticking and Grain (Tim Holtz)
• dies - Postage Collage A6 and A6 Blocks dies, Sew Fun, Notions, Meandering Texture die (all Waffle Flower) 
• Altenew inks - strawberry, lemon ice, mint choc, pistachio
• distress inks - shaded lilac, shabby shutters, brushed corduroy
• other - mini bubble stencil (Tim Holtz), Big Shot, Dimensionals, blending brushes, silver metallic cardstock, MISTI

Colouring and assembling die pieces is my happy place, so I had a ton of fun making this card!

Thanks for calling in.

Quilted Hugs

When I saw the picture and colours for this week's challenge at Color Throwdown, I immediately got an idea and today I sat down to make it happen.

Totally inspired by the quilted fabric in the pic, I broke out some new goodies for my card.

The same colour inks have been used throughout but for the quilted background I kept them light, going heavier on the stencils and die cuts. For the scissors I cut two, colouring them separately then attaching the red handle over the grey body. I had sew much fun putting this all together! 

Materials used - all stamps, dies and stencils are Waffle Flower:

• stamps - Postage Collage Sew Fun 
• dies - Postage collage die, Postage collage blocks die, Sew fun die, Tiny square texture die 
• stencils - Postage collage sew fun, Tiny square
• distress inks - barn door, tumbled glass, faded jeans, lost shadow, lumberjack plaid, hickory smoke, vintage photo, antique linen
• other - Subsentiments Quilted Diecut (WF), craft foam, Big Shot, Dimensionals, blending brushes, MISTI

I hope you have as much fun in your day. Thanks for dropping by.

Cheers
