Floral Sewing (by Julie)

Hello, today it is my turn to show you a couple of sewing themed card designs.

For my first card I inked up the plain black mannequin and stamped twice, next to each other, onto spare stamping card and coloured the background with Weathered Wood Distress ink, before matting onto black card-stock. I then stamped both of the floral bodices onto another piece of card, coloured with pencils before cutting out. Both bodices were then placed over the plain black mannequins and glued into place with 3D glue gel.

The base card was stamped with the black mannequin and various sewing items using Onyx Black Versafine ink. All of the stamps used so far are from Floral Mannequins, however the stamped ribbon design on the base card is from The Sewing Room. 

Once stamped the base card was coloured with Distress inks and the card was finished off with two lacy flowers from Floral Mannequins that have been glued into place with 3D glue gel. 

  

My second card is a DL style card that I have stamped with Floral Mannequins. The ribbon design was stamped onto spare card and then cut out and coloured with Polychromus pencils. You will need to stamp the ribbon twice to fit the length of the DL card so make sure the join can be covered by the card toppers.

I have a set of stitched edge, die cut circles, however you can hand draw the stitching on plain circles.

The two larger circles from the set were used to cut the black and white circles for the main image and the lacy flower and floral bodice were layered over the top to create the main topper.

The two smaller circles from the set were used for the little pin cushion topper and was attached towards the bottom of the card. Both the bodice and pin cushion were coloured with Polychromus pencils and the lacy flower was stamped with red Versafine ink.

Thank you for stopping by and please call again for more Design Team inspiration.
