Just Add Ink #20 - Just Add Stitching

Hello Stamping Friends,
Todays post is for the Just Add Ink challenge this week.  I used ribbon to do my stitching.  I have been so busy organising some design work that I nearly missed doing this challenge, but I am glad I did it was fun.  I tried an idea that Jenny Gropp, (One Krafty Kat) does a lot of on her cards and I think it worked a treat.  I have a Martha Stewart Screw hole Punch that works like a screw driver and it made the job of making the holes and placing them in the right place really easy to do.  I coloured the image with Copics and used my Bow Easy to make the bow.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampendous F152 Grasshopper Fluffles, SU Best Yet

Card and Papers: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Memento Black, Copic Markers

Embellishments: 5/16" Brads, Ribbon

Tools: Big Shot, Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Classic Circle Nestabilities, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Mat Pack and Piercing Tool, Martha Stewart Screw hole Punch, Needle, Dimensionals, Bow Easy

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Father's Day

Hello,

It's the first Sunday in September and that means it's Father's Day here in Australia today.  I made this card for my Husband.  He loved his card although he isn't sure about the buttons.  If only he knew how much bother I went to to put them there.  I was going to glue them in place but because I had put thread in the button holes and tied them off on the back they wouldn't sit flat, so I ended up pulling the card apart and redoing it and sewing the buttons to the ribbon. Besides buttons are popular at the moment aren't they!!!! Anyway after I played with it this is the finished result. Hope you like it.
