Hi everyone!
I can't believe it's Monday already! Where did my weekend go? I did manage to cram a lot into it though. Got five or so cards done, worked in my garden, did the laundry, cleaned the house and even managed a trip to a local antique store. Didn't pick up anything this time. I'm on the hunt for a couple of things for our upstairs bathroom, but I'm not in any hurry. The best thing about antique stores is that there's always something new to check out every time you go. :)
One of the cards I did this weekend was this one for this week's There She Goes Challenge, TSG164. Wendy Ramlakhan is this week's featured Trendsetter, and she's challenging us to sew on our cards or projects.

One of the cards I did this weekend was this one for this week's There She Goes Challenge, TSG164. Wendy Ramlakhan is this week's featured Trendsetter, and she's challenging us to sew on our cards or projects.
Since I sew on all of my cards, I decided to do a little faux stitching instead. So I pulled out the In Stitches set and used the wet embossing technique to add a little ribbon detail across the base of the card. The stamp wasn't long enough to run the length I needed it to, so I stamped the cross stitches out twice, hiding any overlap under the main panel. Of course, I couldn't make a card without ANY real sewing on it, so I stitched the patterned paper to some Bazzil Bling cardstock and trimmed it with my decorative scissors and corner punch. The cute snowman is from the Warmest Wishes set, which comes with it's own dies to cut out the snowman! I left him white by just adding a bit of grey ink to the shadows case by his scarf and buttons. I just love how he turned out! The sentiment, also from the Warmest Wishes set, was wet embossed and heat set, just like the stitches. Lastly, I added the baker's twine and button to finish it off.
