Too much time...

...spent on this card. I was trying to do some machine stitching for the Simon Says challenge and I can never get the tension right. I spend way too much time adjusting and redoing and I still have crooked sloppy stitches and waste my precious paper! Oh well, we are not all perfect. I'll keep at it and one day I'll get it. If you have any tips for sewing on paper, please share.

I didn't toss this card. I'm not happy but I'm posting it anyway. I incorporated three other challenges. I chose to use olive, mustard, and chocolate from the Color Thowdown choices. I used the sketch at the Pink Elephant and went with a fall theme for Stampin Sisters in Christ.



Stamp: Harvest Fruits- Sweet n Sassy
Paper: K&Co.
Accents: Ribbon
Tools: Nestabilities Label Four; Prismacolor pencils; Cuttlebug Vintage corners; Cuttlebug birds and vines folder

  2. gorgeous card Fonda ! :-) The image and papers are beautifully coordinated ,,, and your sewing is fab !! I have only got my machine out once to sew on card so I don't have many tips ,, I would suggest you use cheap/scraps paper for practising ! Hope you didn't waste too much of your gorgeous papers :-(

    thanks for joining the Simon Says Stamp Challenge :-)

  9. Glad you didn't toss this card! It's a great autumn card! I know you don't think your stitching is perfect, BUT, at least you are using a sewing machine! LOL Plus the lazy stitch is "in" nowadays! I think your stitching looks just fine! Love your main image also.

    Great job with the CTD challenge!
