Anything Goes Challenge #5 - vintage

Challenge number 5 already, I can't believe it. I have made a card this week, using Tim Holtz papers, ideology range items and various bits of haberdashery. Check out Craft Den website for the lovely range of ideology and Tim papers Lynne has in stock. The hessian, flowers, DI inks etc all from Craft Den. The stamp is one I found recently, the girls paperie range. It's very cute. I love dress dummies for some reason. I saw a really lovely ironwork one on holiday in a shop, draped in jewellery. It looked like an elaborate birdcage. I really wanted to bring it home, but I don't think we would have got it on the plane and Dan was less than impressed with it to be honest. men know nothing...



Now I really need to be taught how to use my little mini sewing machine. I can't even work out how to thread it to even make a start, so I hand stitched all the way round this card. I really need to learn how to thread the stupid machine as the handstitching took forever and I was a bit fed up by the end! The little idealogy memo pins say SEW but it's a bit hard to see as the glossy accents dried a little bit cloudy.

I hope you like and and please come and join us, the more the merrier!
