Sewing for Mum

It was time to make a Mothering Sunday card and I began by using Milled Lavender Distress Stain to colour a card blank.

Next I used an old snack box to cut Sewing Room die pieces,

and coloured the cotton reel with Antique Linen and the mannequin with Brushed Corduroy. I added some blue paper thread to the reel and cut the mannequin body shape from some lovely floral paper (I had a great hour or two yesterday sorting the storage for my paper stash and promised myself I'd use some, so this is a good start).

To finish I printed out a phrase (note to self, next week rubbage in the reduced area in craft shops and buy a Mothering Sunday stamp!) and edged it with some more Milled Lavender and then used glue and foam pads to combine the elements together and also add some dimension.

It was only when I finished that I realised I'd used many of the elements of the current Crafty Boots blog challenge, so though this isn't a wedding card, I hope it's still OK to enter this card.

I am also entering the Country View Crafts first challenge "Anything Goes"

with this card.
