Firsts


Finally, a card post!

This was for my BFF's son's 1st B-day! And also, the first time using this stamp and stitching a card - not faux stitching! Actual stitching with thread and needle. I roughed up this card quite a bit, and boy was it fun! (Pun intended!) ETA: I hope you know I meant the sewing to be messy! LOL! Oh, and I can't sew with a machine (just not that gifted!), so it was done by hand. Not nearly as bad as it sounds!

I had another b-day card to post, but alas, auto focus was not my friend and it didn't turn out :(

Hoping to get some more creations cranked out for your viewing pleasure soon!

Such a cute card Catherine. . .did you hand sew the stitch? Wow, that's lots of work but it turned out beautiful. I love the distressed edge and oh, the image is so adorable!!

Hope you have a great weekend!!

Your card is ADORABLE!!! I love your coloring and the roughed up stitching!!! I can sew by hand, but still need A LOT of practice with a machine. I know your friend loves it:o)

Hugs!

What a cute card! I love using giraffe images for children's birthday cards. Your hand stitching looks great.
