Simon Says ,,,,, Make your own Embellishments

Wow, thank you so much to everyone who joined in with our "Anything But a Card" challenge last week. You gave me some fab ideas !! all I need now is more time to make them but I definitely will be 'CASE' ing a few :-)

This week, our challenge is

MAKE YOUR OWN EMBELLISHMENT !

As usual our lovely boss Heidi will be giving one lucky entrant a $50 spree to her Simon Says Stamp store. New goodies are arriving everyday in the store so there is no better time to take part and be in with a chance of winning our fantastic prize !!!

For my card I used Hero Arts Sew Stylish , Sew Artsy Friends Definition and Tags and Tickets sets stamp sets.

I stamped the 'stitching' onto a craft coloured card using Rich Cocoa Memento ink I then embossed the upper half to add texture and then swiped Antique Linen Distress ink over the ridges to highlight. I then made the background for the image ,, this was made by stamping the 'Friends' background stamp onto Sticky Backed Canvas
and then inked it with the antique linen distress ink too. The image was coloured with Copics and her dress was paper pieced with Basic Grey Sugar Rush paper. I also plugged in my sewing machine and did some real sewing :-)

I made buttons using grungeboard coloured with distress ink, one was covered in BG paper, all were then smothered with Glossy Acccents. I also made a handbag using Shrink Plastic and the little pocket on the sewing machine and the 'tape measure' ribbon are made with Sticky Back Canvas
