I tried something a little different with this set yesterday and at first I wasn't so sure I liked it but it has grown on me and I like it more and more as I look at it. And the true test, the hubby has a very critical eye for art and design and he liked it right away. I hope you do too. I began with a Tempting Turquoise base that I ran through the Big Shot using my Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder. I then took a strip of Daffodil Delight card stock, cut it into a rectangle and added a scallop border to the bottom. I then layered a piece of DSP from the Sweet Stitches collection in the mini to the top edge. Why the whole piece of Daffodil Delight behind it? I'm glad you asked. It is to give some weight to the DSP so I could mount it using dimensionals and it not be flimsy. For some text, I added the Melon Mambo Pompom trip. If pompom trim doesn't make you happy, I'm feel sorry for you. For my focal point, I stamped the sewing machine on watercolor paper using Stazon Black ink. I then colored the machine using a blender pen with the ink pads. For the tag, I stamped the greeting from Tiny Tags in Black and punched it out with the Jewelry Tag punch and tied it around the sewing machine that I had previously punched out with the XL Decorative Label punch, using linen thread. I then mounted this piece with doubled layer of dimensionals on the top 3/4 of the back side to accommodate for the thickness of the pompom trim. I hope this card makes you smile today.






I think this is my favorite card made with this set! I love everything about this card!! TFS!!
