This One's For Mom

Good Morning!  The Challenge over at the House of Cards Challenge Blog for March is to "Add A Button." So this two weeks of the month is for Clean & Simple Cards (CAS) or Classic & Elegant cards with a button on them.  Hop on over and play along with us.  Here is my DT card for the challenge.


I got carried away with the button theme and went with a whole sewing theme on this one.  I have decided this will be my Mother's Day card to my Mom.  She loves to sew and quilt but with Macular Degeneration she can no longer do so.  I might have gone a little bit vintage on this card versus Classic & Elegant .
I love how I thought of having the scissors cut the edge of the paper.  Here's a close-up of that.



The DP is Authentique Original 6x6 pad.  The bodice stamp is Tim Holtz  Stamper's Anonymous Sew Exceptional.  Scissors, button and thread spool are from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Sewing Edge.  Scissors and button are cut from Ranger mirror foil.  I topped the scissors with dot of  silver Perfect Pearl  for the screw.  Sentiment stamp is from Great Impressions Stamps.  Inks used are Distressed Inks Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Vintage Photo.  Flower is made from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Floral Die.  Jute and lace are from my stash.    

Hope you come and play with us at the House of Cards Challenge Blog.

I am also entering this in the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #4 - Show Some Sparkle,Glitz, or Glam (what's more sparkly or shinier than that Ranger foil?)

Happy Crafting!
Donna

    I'm not sure what this card is classified as, but I say it is fabulous and I'm sure your Mom will adore it as much as she did sewing and quilting. I love everything about it. Have a crafty week.
