Hi everybody!
It's weekend already, and that means it's time for Manon's Paper Saturdays, where you can link up with any sort of paper creation.
I made a tag, once again using corrugated card, partly peeled and painted, and then stamped ( although you can't see much of the stamping). The Sewing items are all stamps from Chocolate Baroque. I stamped them onto some canvas scraps left over from other projects using Adirondack espresso, cut them out, and then painted them with water colours, using shades of brown and a little pink. I love the texture this gives. The thimble somehow reminded me of a hat....The buttons are also made of canvas, and sewn on. I cut the pin-cushion twice, made some holes in it, and added the pins. The sentiments are also in the set from Chocolate Baroque, I fringed the edges and did a few stitches with brown cotton. Sewing is not really my thing, but I tried. I am also linking to FSC, where the challenge this time is 'Sew 'n' Sew'. I am also linking to Our Creative Corner - forgotten things: the little scraps tucked away and waiting to be used.
Have a good weekend you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Fascinating techniques and a great sewing result, so different from what I do, maybe that's why I like coming here!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the thimble as head and the spools are really neat.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it neat how different people focus in on different things. I was captivated by the trim with the spools and the button and also such a sexy mannequin!
ReplyDeleteSandy
This is true, I think we all see something different as focal point!
DeleteI love the texture of the canvas also Valerie. Beautiful tag with so many pretty elements.

Love the use of canvas scraps on this. It looks so vintage. Thanks for joining us at Our Creative Corner. Hugs, Jenny x
ReplyDeletep.s. it would really help next time if you link your actual post rather than just your blog when entering the challenge as it is difficult to leave a comment otherwise. Thanks x
