It is that time of the week for the latest sketch challenge from Stamping&Blogging and this is the card I created. I made if for my Aunt’s birthday and she likes vintage and shabby chic so I went a little mad with the inking and sewing machine. I used the Epic Day This & That paper and added some extra ink around the edges. I think used my sewing machine and machine stitched the paper. I used a doily to mimic the circle in the sketch below and used a brayer to shabby it up added the sentiment from Perfectly Penned which was heat embossed using pewter embossing powder.
And here is the inside –
I used some splatters from Gorgeous Grunge and it needed a little something extra so I reached for the Petite Petals bundle and some rhinestones. Here is this weeks sketch –
