Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you are here today. I hope the sun is smiling down on you where ever you are. Or maybe its a sky full of stars like it is here right now. ;)
Today I have a card for the challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's where the challenge is A Stitch in Time. I have to admit this was a very easy one for me. If you've ever been here and looked at my cards you will know I ALWAYS stitch all my layers. (between you and me, my cards look naked without the stitching. I just can't skip it) A few weeks ago I bought the image Sassy Sally and Her Raggedy Ann. This is the first time I have used her. I loved Raggedy Ann as a little girl. I still own a set of sheets, a blanket, all my dolls, a metal waste can and a candle holder :)
Here's this cutie :) I colored her with my Prismacolor pencils. Look at Ann's face. Almost smug, huh?
The DP are from a stack from MME called Penny Lane. These papers are so fun. Lots of glitter although you can't see it in this picture. The red was a perfect Raggedy Ann color. Kinda vintage.
Here's my embellishment. The buttons are all from my stash. Instead of gluing them on I threaded some taupe pearle cotton through the holes of each button. I poked a hole in my card below the bow and pulled all the ends to the back and adhered them with Scor tape. They all just dangle. I really like how it looks. My ribbon is seam binding from Wild Orchid.
Here's the inside. I inked the edges of the writing panel with a stamp pad....funny how colors look different when you are really tired :( oh well. Sally and Ann like pink too, I hope.
I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sassy Cheryl's - A Stitch in Time
Shopping Our Stash - Use 3 or More DP
Digi Tuesday - Ribbons & Buttons
Sketch & Stash - Sketch (& buttons from my stash)
I think that's about it. I hope you enjoy your travels in blog land. Thanks for taking a peek!
Blessings & Hugs,
Michelle

Beautiful inside and out. I LOVE the stitching and I can see how you would feel your cards are naked w/o them. You're amazing. Just simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along in the Sassy Cheryl's Stitching challenge this week.
Oh My Gosh! Look at all the wonderful stitching! I love how part of it looks like stitched swirls that you would see on a quilt! Awesome..
ReplyDeleteyour coloring is just perfect on this little sassy darling- you have brought her to life!
I love that you have used prisma pencils.
I think pencils get lost in the world of copics!
